TreeView

User Guide GeoDMS GUI - TreeView

introduction

The Treeview is the main navigation component of the application. It presents the hierarchical structure of a configuration in a view like the Windows Explorer. By default, the first level items are shown (the root item is not shown, it's name in presented in the title bar). Each item in the tree (called a Tree item) is presented with a name and an icon. The main function of the icons is to show the default viewer for each tree item.

The selected item in the Treeview is the active item in the application. This is an important concept, as many functions of the application work on the active tree item. By clicking the right mouse button a pop-up menu can be activated, with a set of menu options that work on this active tree item. The DetailPages also present information on this active item.
