What is FT ?

I did some debugging. When I send the selected:#true message to a root node, it goes down to the Morphic classes, and everything is fine, when I send it to a child node, the dependents array of the TreeNodeModel is nil, so nobody gets the message. I don't know enough about Spec yet to understand what dependents are and why there are none on a child node.

Because I really need to get this done quickly, I will try to write a quick and dirty fix in a subclass that will directly talk to the morphic objects underneath.

Now, with some guidance from you guys, I would be really happy to take some time and write some useful code that could solve this problem correctly, and have it commited for anyone to use. But first, in order to justify to my employer that coding with Pharo was a good choice, I need to make my application work.

I'll update here as I go.

With the FT core code, I'm having success mapping the tree to an array
(i.e. providing an #at: anIndex) for the tree. But then, need to
optimise #at: (or the FT code iterating over the tree with #at:).

Note that the widget should not have a knowledge of the tree depth (or
the depth of an item of the tree). Otherwise the code becomes very
complex (i.e. PluggableTreeMorph and MorphTreeMorph), for no good reason
at all.

Enjoy your design ;)
