What I want is a hierarchical tree that only displays a header at each level and a check box by each node. But this is what I've observed for each view style:
Standard: Hierarchical and check boxes but no column headers or cell textOutlookExpress: Yes there is text in each cell but no check boxes or hierarchyGrid: Text, Columns, Hierarchy are all great, but no check boxesFreeForm: Header is displayed at every node, no check boxes
So is it possible I'm just not specifying something somewhere to get my cell text and column headers to show up for the "Standard" view? This one seems to be the best fit.
No, you cannot have columns in Standard mode.
I'm not sure why you don't see text in Standard ViewStyle. Maybe you are assigning a ColumnSet somewhere that is pointing to the wrong field or a non-existant field in your data. If your tree is bound to a data source that has multiple fields, the it uses the ColumnSet's NodeTextColumn to determine what to display on the node. This will default to the first field in the data source, so if you are getting nothing at all, maybe your first field is blank.
Ok thats fine. But can standard show columns? And why only in standard do I not have any text in my cells? Every other view my text shows up. Maybe my text is there but the column width is 0? I'll have to see if that is going on. I don't understand why every other view shows my column headers and actual data and standard does not.
You can't put a checkbox in front of the node in any style but standard. But you can add an unbound checkbox column to your ColumnSets in any of the other modes.
