virtual treeview

[rejetto]

other reasons to switch to the new vcl are
1) i found the contact list managing to be very poor, so i will rewrite it
2) it supports background images


 

[rejetto]

3) great support for drag&drop

about the VCL i use for the contact list...
until i was using delphi3, i was using a Listbox, cause standard Treeview was not supporting customdrawing

switching to delphi6, i switched to the standard Treeview


unfortunately Treeview is not so good, as it does not support invisible nodes, and is slow on large lists

now i'm trying to switch to VirtualTreeview
http://www.lischke-online.de/VirtualTreeview.html
it's a very big vcl, about 600k source, 300k uncompressed code
i hope it will be a good choice and won't have to turn back to treeview again, it's a risk, i know

comments?

What version of Virtual Treeview was used with the last build(andrq-cvs-2004-03-08)?

[rejetto]

sorry, can't get such information.
it was overwriten over time.

Okay, i asked because i can't compile the last &RQ from cvs... It gives me some errors i can't fix.. I'm using delphi7...
I guess one of the reasons is Theme Manager - i guess it's not needed for compiling on delphi7, but the sources are made for delphi6, right?

[rejetto]

yes.
what's the compiler error?

[zhuaple]

Some common errors

[rejetto]

i would ignore them. they don't seem to be important properties.

I'm trying to get rid of all the JVCL components but it seems to be impossible
