Reassigning to Martin. Please evaluate this issue, thank you. |
Most users don't know that there are quick search capabilities in tree views. To make it more obvious that there are quick search capabilities, I added a contextual menu item with the title "Show Quick Search". I didn't find a clean way to hide or show the quick search. I had to use reflection to get to the QuickSearch object: private static QuickSearch getQuickSearch(TreeView view) { try { Field field = TreeView.class.getDeclaredField("qs"); field.setAccessible(true); return (QuickSearch) field.get(view); } catch (NoSuchFieldException ex) { return null; } catch (IllegalArgumentException ex) { return null; } catch (IllegalAccessException ex) { return null; } } Can you please provide a "public api" way to show and hide the quick search ?
