Modifying the Tree Pane

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm trying to implement functionality in the tree view similar to the sheet metal environment.  The hidden component (folded model or flat pattern) is greyed out in the tree view to indicate that it is hidden.

Does anyone know how to achieve this? 

I'm having a lot of trouble finding documentation or samples for this part of the user interface.  It may be that I am not using the right search terms because I don't know what the tree view is actually called in the API, so if anyone could even point me to the documentation for this, that would be appreciated as well.

Thanks in advance.

It is called BrowserPane for the tree pane in Inventor API, but I think you would like to search "browser nodes" in documentary so you can read a passage for "Introduction to Browser Nodes" where you can get an overview of BrowserPane and BrowserNode.

Thanks, this points me to a good starting point.  I've been able to at least hide parts of the tree, but I'm still trying to figure out how to grey out sections, like in the sheet metal environment.  There is a display state in the browser node definition, it's probably a matter of finding the right enum to assign...
