Method Detail |
public void updateElement(Object parent, int index)
TreeViewer.replace(Object, int, Object)
. The content provider
should also update the child count for any replaced element by calling
TreeViewer.setChildCount(Object, int)
. If the given current child
count is already correct, setChildCount does not have to be called since
a call to replace will not change the child count.
NOTE #updateElement(int index) can be used to determine
selection values. If TableViewer#replace(Object, int) is not called
before returning from this method, selections may have missing or stale
elements. In this situation it is suggested that the selection is asked
for again after replace() has been called.
