Treeitem

A treeitem should be placed inside a treechildren element and should contain treerow elements. The treeitem can be clicked by the user to select the row of the tree. The treeitem contains a single row and all of what appear to the user as that row's descendants.

Attributes:

Attributes inherited from XUL Element


align

Determines the horizontal alignment of the children of the treeitem.

autostretch

In the treeitem is placed inside a horizontally oriented box, autostretch determines whether the treeitem stretches vertically to fit the given space. For vertically oriented boxes, determines whether the treeitem stretches horizontally to fit the given space. Stetching in the opoosite direction is controlled with the flex attribute.

collapsed

If true, then the treeitem is collapsed and does not appear. It is equavalent to setting the CSS visibility property to collapsed.

container

Set to true if the treeitem is to act as a container which can have child elements. This would be used for folders.

crop

If the label of the treeitem is too small to fit in its given space, the text will be cropped on the side specified by the crop attribute. An ellipsis will be placed in place of the cropped text.

debug

If true, extra borders are drawn around the element and all its descendants. This can be used to determine orientation and where flexible elements are. If debug mode is enabled for a box, horizontal oriented boxes are displayed with a blue border and vertical boxes are displayed with a red border. The border above the element will be straight for non-flexible elements and wavy for flexible elements.

flex

Indicates the flexibility of the treeitem. Flexible elements grow and shrink to fit their given space. The actual value is not relevant unless there are other flexible elements with-in the same container. Elements with larger flex values will grow more than elements with lower flex values, at the ratio determined by the two elements.

height

The height of the treeitem in pixels. It is recommended to use the CSS height property instead.
