Creating the MAF Tree View Controls

To instantiate the MAFTreeController objects, use the factory C functions declared in the MAFTreeViewFactory.h header file. There are two dedicated functions, both named mafCreateTreeController, separated by their different signatures, for creating the two modes—browsing and editing—of the tree view.

• Browsing Mode
  The browsing tree view component enables device users to browse across multiple levels and select leaf elements individually.
• Editing Mode
  The editing mode displays hierarchical data in the same way as the browsing mode, but also lets device users select multiple leaf items and simultaneously execute actions on all of them. The custom actions are always visible at the bottom of the browsing UI, and can be activated by tapping the Edit button in the top-right corner.
