prima::detailedoutline
Prima::DetailedOutline(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Prima::DetailedOutline(3)
NAME
Prima::DetailedOutline - a multi-column outline viewer with controlling header widget.
SYNOPSIS
use Prima::DetailedOutline;
my $l = $w-> insert( 'Prima::DetailedList',
columns => 2,
headers => [ 'Column 1', 'Column 2' ],
items => [
[ ['Item 1, Col 1', 'Item 1, Col 2'], [
[ ['Item 1-1, Col 1', 'Item 1-1, Col 2'] ],
[ ['Item 1-2, Col 1', 'Item 1-2, Col 2'], [
[ ['Item 1-2-1, Col 1', 'Item 1-2-1, Col 2'] ],
] ],
] ],
[ ['Item 2, Col 1', 'Item 2, Col 2'], [
[ ['Item 2-1, Col 1', 'Item 2-1, Col 2'] ],
] ],
],
);
$l-> sort(1);
DESCRIPTION
Prima::DetailedOutline combines the functionality of Prima::OutlineViewer and Prima::DetailedList.
API
This class inherits all the properties, methods, and events of Prima::OutlineViewer (primary ancestor) and Prima::DetailedList (secondary
ancestor). One new property is introduced, and one property is different enough to warrant mention.
Methods
items ARRAY
Each item is represented by an arrayref with either one or two elements. The first element is the item data, an arrayref of text
strings to display. The second element, if present, is an arrayref of child items.
When using the node functionality inherited from Prima::OutlineViewer, the item data (that is, the arrayref of text strings) is the
first element of the node.
autoRecalc BOOLEAN
If this is set to a true value, the column widths will be automatically recalculated (via "autowidths") whenever a node is expanded or
collapsed.
