+/** A control that displays a set of hierarchical data as an outline.
+
+ <p>
+ <h4>The Data Model</h4>
+ <p>A specific node in a tree is identified by a XTreeNode.
+ A leaf node is a node without any children and that returns `FALSE` when calling XTreeNode::hasChildrenOnDemand().
+ An expanded node is a non-leaf node that will displays its children when all its ancestors are expanded.
+ A collapsed node is one which hides them.
+ A node is visible when all parent nodes are expanded and the node itself is in the display area.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>The nodes are retrieved from a XTreeDataModel.
+ You can implement it yourself or use the MutableTreeDataModel
+ which uses XMutableTreeNode and XMutableTreeDataModel
+ for a simple and mutable data model.
+
+ <p>The data model must be set at the TreeControlModel::TreeDataModel property.</p>
+
+ <h4>Selection</h4>
+ <p>If you are interested in knowing when the selection changes implement a
+ com::sun::star::view::XSelectionChangeListener and add the instance with the method
+ ::com::sun::star::view::XSelectionSupplier::addSelectionChangeListener().
+ You than will be notified for any selection change.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ If you are interested in detecting either double-click events or when a user clicks on a node,
+ regardless of whether or not it was selected, you can get the com::sun::star::awt::XWindow
+ and add yourself as a com::sun::star::awt::XMouseClickHandler. You can use the
+ method XTreeControl::getNodeForLocation() to retrieve the node that was under the
+ mouse at the time the event was fired.
+ </p>
+
+ <h4>Adding child nodes on demand</h4>
+ <p>If you want to add child nodes to your tree on demand you can do the following.
+ <ul>
+ <li>Make sure the parent node returns `TRUE` for XTreeNode::hasChildrenOnDemand() either
+ by implementing XTreeNode yourself or if you use the MutableTreeDataModel,
+ use XMutableTreeNode::setHasChildrenOnDemand().</li>
+ <li>Implement a XTreeExpansionListener and add the instance with the method
+ XTreeControl::addTreeExpansionListener().</li>
+ </ul>
+ Now you get called when the node will become expanded or collapsed.
+ So on XTreeExpansionListener::treeExpanding() you can
+ check the TreeExpansionEvent if the parent node with children on demand is going to
+ be expanded and in that case add the missing child nodes. You can also veto the expansion or
+ collapsing of a parent node by using the ExpandVetoException.
+ </p>
