Question

I am using a TreeViewer to display the status of several items. The status should be displayed using icons. I am currently displaying colored lights to indicate the status of each node. I now need to display 2 different statuses for each item and would like each to have its own icon.

Because I have not been able to find a way to add multiple icons per node I am combining the icons into a single image that is twice as wide (32×16) as each original icon (16×16). This works except that at some point before the icon is displayed it is squished back to the original size (16×16).

Is there a way in Jface to specify the size of the icon to be used with a node in a Treeviewer?

Answer 1

All Icons are resized to the dimensions of the first rendered image. If you want to use multiple Items use a Tree with multiple Columns or use a decorating LabelProvider to use decoration for a base image instead of different icons.
