Tree
The Tree collection widget is like the List widget (another of the toolkit’s collection widgets) with a multi-level data structure.
Like List this is designed to help build really performant
interfaces when lots of data is being presented.
Because of this the widget is not created with all the data embedded, but instead calls out to the data source when needed.
The Tree uses callback functions to ask for data when it is required.
There are 4 main callbacks, ChildUIDs, IsBranch, CreateNode and UpdateNode.
The ChildUIDs callback is where we communicate the unique ID of each child node to the one requested.
This will be called with the TreeNodeID "" to first get a list of all the IDs that appear inside the root of the tree.
The IsBranch callback should return true if the node is a branch. This is usually true if the node ID has child nodes - but you can have an empty branch.
It is crucial that the id of each tree node is unique to the tree. For example if you are building a file manager the ID should be the file path rather than its name.
The other two relate to the content templates.
The CreateNode callback returns a new template object, just like list, though there is an additional bool parameter that is true if the node can have child elements (is a branch).
As previously the UpdateNode is called to apply data to a cell template.
You should update the content according to the TreeNodeID and isBranch parameters.
