public interface ITreeSelection extends IStructuredSelection
It is recommended that clients do not implement this interface but instead
use the standard implementation of this interface, TreeSelection.
TreeSelection adds API for getting the IElementComparer
of a selection (if available). This is important for clients who want to
create a slightly modified tree selection based on an existing tree selection.
The recommended coding pattern in this case is as follows:
ITreeSelection selection = (ITreeSelection)treeViewer.getSelection();
TreePath[] paths = selection.getPaths();
IElementComparer comparer = null;
if (selection instanceof TreeSelection) {
comparer = ((TreeSelection)selection).getElementComparer();
}
TreePath[] modifiedPaths = ... // modify as required
TreeSelection modifiedSelection = new TreeSelection(modifiedPaths, comparer);
See bugs 135818 and 133375 for details.
