• PMAPTree control: a flexible tree control supporting XML and JSON, keyboard navigation, and more.
• PMAPCommon module: with tons of useful functions on both the client and server side, like image list handling, hash map handling, high performance string handling, fast XML processing on the client side, and more.
• PMAPDateUtils module: an extensive set of functions to handle date & time tasks natively and some gems like firstDayOfWeek(), nthDayOfWeek(), incDateDays(), getDayOfMonth(), ISO8601ToDateTime() ,  and more.
• The PMAPTree control demo application with various examples of how to use the tree and how to populate it from various sources, among other things.
• A number of patches to the Morfik FrameWork code, making development more efficient and adding some new functionality.

All the above stuff is tested with Morfik FX 2.0.5.18 & 2.0.5.27 and is only a click away, so don’t hesitate! We are very liberal with the demo license as well: you can use the full version components included in the demo in live applications. All we ask is give us feedback and credit in your apps!

So go and request your demo package today!

Highlights:

• Enhanced Opera keyboard support (still with some visuals issues)
• Fixed a bug when clicking to the left of a leaf node (thanks JM!)
• Surfaced getTreeNodeByExternalID() so that you can use it to find a particular node of interest independently of the tree structure or of the actual (language dependent) title of the node (you will have to set the external ID before using this function ;-)
• The demo app displays the version string of the tree control in the Log upon startup.

Our PMAP partners are receiving the latest builds today.

Happy coding!

Highlights:

• Fully supports Safari and works on Opera (with some keyboard handling and visuals issues)
• A new property (SelectionColor) is introduced to make it easier to set the selection color (no need for editing the css file any more)
• Tree nodes now can be expanded with the left & right arrow keys in addition to using Enter
• The demo app has been updated.

Our PMAP partners are receiving the latest builds today.

Happy coding!

As you may be well aware, we have just launched the PannonRex Morfik Advantage Program during the weekend, with the Tree View control as a first item. Now I created a PMAP page on this blog to summarize the program details. Please review and comment!

Thanks,
Peter

Our new Tree View will allow you to build trees of virtually any complexity, even containing HTML and the ability to command other parts of your user interface. It has been optimized to keep its performance sustained even with large trees. The PMAP code set contains both the full source code of the tree control and the continuously growing infrastructure functions we are using to build high performance controls and applications.

Some highlights:

• Full keyboard navigation.
• Multiple levels of customizability (style sheet, properties, events, etc.).
• Any tree node can contain valid HTML.
• Build the tree either through the control API, or with the help of XML or JSON.
• Performance optimized.
• Multiple selection support (with keyboard navigation, too!).
• Fixed height or elastic sizing based on content.
• Dynamic loading API for huge trees.

A few words about the demo:

• The default tree demonstrates a few things, like embedded hyperlinks, user interface commanding (will turn the pages in the Tab control in an event handler), and various icons.
• You can edit this tree or create your own in many ways
  • by building it up node-by-node,
  • by adding complete sub-trees defined in JSON format,
  • by specifying the entire tree in XML or JSON format, or
  • by generating a tree based on some parameters.
• You will notice that using the JSON interface is much faster than the XML interface. This is indeed a good comparison of the JSON v.s. XML support of your browser (see the Log for timing data).
• You will be able to customize many of the node and tree options.
• How to use the Items page:
  • First press “Set Items (XML)” (and be patient;-: it will set up a test tree that is in the editor on the right in XML format.
  • Then press “Get Items (JSON)”: the editor will be filled with the JSON version of the same tree.
  • Careful: press “Clear” below the tree control, to make the tree empty (it is lovely to have so many Clear buttons:-).
  • Now press “Set Items (JSON)”: your tree will be re-built much faster (just look at the log, on some configurations the difference can be 50 fold+!).
  • If you want to get back the original tree, just press “Default content”.

Feel free to play with the control and let us know of your findings (either by commenting here or by dropping a mail).
