UXML element MultiColumnTreeView

A MultiColumnTreeView is a UI control commonly used to display tabular or grid-like data with multiple columns. Use a MultiColumnTreeView to present data in a structured format, where each row represents an item or entry, and each column represents a specific attribute or property of that item.

Create a MultiColumnTreeView

You can create a MultiColumnTreeView with UXML and C#. The following C# example creates a MultiColumnTreeView with two columns:

var multiColumnTreeView = new MultiColumnTreeView();
multiColumnTreeView.columns.Add(new Column { title = "Name", width = 20 });
multiColumnTreeView.columns.Add(new Column { title = "Power", width = 80 });

Refresh the collection view

To refresh the collection view, in general, call the RefreshItems or RefreshItem method. However, in the following cases, call Rebuild instead to refresh the collection view:

• You change the type of the data source, such as changing from a List<float> to a List<Vector3>.
• You make changes to makeItem or destroyItem.

Note: If you call Rebuild, the collection view is completely rebuilt, which can be expensive. If you call RefreshItems or RefreshItem, the collection view is only refreshed, which is less expensive.

Bind the MultiColumnTreeView to data

You can bind the MultiColumnTreeView to a data source, and automatically populate the rows and columns based on the provided data. Refer to Create list and tree views for an example.

Sort the MultiColumnTreeView

You can enable sorting for MultiColumnTreeView using a default algorithm, or implementing a custom algorithm if the default sorting operation isn’t fast enough to meet your needs.

To enable sorting:

1. Set the sortingEnabled attribute to true.
2. Use the sortColumnDescriptions attribute to define the initial column to sort by. Setting a value for this attribute is optional. If you don’t set a value, the MultiColumnListView sorts by the first column by default.

To reorder:

1. Register to columnSortingChanged and implement how sorting applies to your source.
2. In the callback, use sortColumns to reorder your list accordingly and trigger a RefreshItems() once the items’ source has been updated.

The sortColumns attribute is the current state of sorted columns. The sortColumns list is in order in which columns were sorted. If you sort by column 1, then column 2, then column 3, the sortedColumns list is [1, 2, 3]. If you sort by column 3, then column 2, then column 1, the sortedColumns list is [3, 2, 1].

Implement drag-and-drop operations for MultiColumnTreeView

Drag-and-drop is a common feature in UI design. To implement the drag-and-drop operations, override the following methods:

• To enable dragging items, override canStartDrag.
• To set which items are dragged, override setupDragAndDrop.
• To get item status changes, override dragAndDropUpdate. You can perform certain actions based on the drag position or other conditions.
• To control the drag-and-drop behavior, override handleDrop.

During the drag-and-drop operation, you can enable the reordering of items by dragging. To enable, set the reorderable attribute to true in UI Builder, UXML, and C#.

Refer to Create a drag-and-drop list and tree views between windows for an example.

示例

• Create list and tree views: Use ListView, TreeView, MultiColumnListView, and MultiColumnTreeView to create list and tree views.

C# class: MultiColumnTreeView
Namespace: UnityEngine.UIElements
Base class: BaseTreeView

Member UXML attributes

This element has the following member attributes:

名称	类型	描述
columns	UIElements.Columns+UxmlSerializedData	The collection of columns for the multi-column header.
sort-column-descriptions	UIElements.SortColumnDescriptions+UxmlSerializedData	The collection of sorted columns by default.
sorting-enabled	boolean	Whether or not sorting is enabled in the multi-column header.

Inherited UXML attributes

This element inherits the following attributes from its base class:

名称	类型	描述
auto-expand	boolean	When true, items are automatically expanded when added to the TreeView.
binding-path	string	Path of the target property to be bound.
fixed-item-height	float	The height of a single item in the list, in pixels. This property must be set when using the virtualizationMethod is set to FixedHeight, for the collection view to function. If set when virtualizationMethod is DynamicHeight, it serves as the default height to help calculate the number of items necessary and the scrollable area, before items are laid out. It should be set to the minimum expected height of an item.
focusable	boolean	True if the element can be focused.
reorderable	boolean	Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the user can drag list items to reorder them. The default value is false which allows the user to drag items to and from other views when you implement canStartDrag, setupDragAndDrop, dragAndDropUpdate, and handleDrop. Set this value to true to allow the user to reorder items in the list.
selection-type	UIElements.SelectionType	Controls the selection type. The default value is SelectionType.Single. When you set the collection view to disable selections, any current selection is cleared.
show-alternating-row-backgrounds	UIElements.AlternatingRowBackground	This property controls whether the background colors of collection view rows alternate. Takes a value from the AlternatingRowBackground enum.
show-border	boolean	Enable this property to display a border around the collection view. If set to true, a border appears around the ScrollView that the collection view uses internally.
tabindex	int	An integer used to sort focusables in the focus ring. Must be greater than or equal to zero.
virtualization-method	UIElements.CollectionVirtualizationMethod	The virtualization method to use for this collection when a scroll bar is visible. Takes a value from the CollectionVirtualizationMethod enum. The default value is FixedHeight. When using fixed height, specify the fixedItemHeight property. Fixed height is more performant but offers less flexibility on content. When using DynamicHeight, the collection will wait for the actual height to be computed. Dynamic height is more flexible but less performant.

This element also inherits the following attributes from VisualElement:

名称	类型	描述
content-container	string	Child elements are added to it, usually this is the same as the element itself.
data-source	Object	Assigns a data source to this VisualElement which overrides any inherited data source. This data source is inherited by all children.
data-source-path	string	Path from the data source to the value.
name	string	The name of this VisualElement. Use this property to write USS selectors that target a specific element. The standard practice is to give an element a unique name.
picking-mode	UIElements.PickingMode	Determines if this element can be pick during mouseEvents or IPanel.Pick queries.
style	string	Reference to the style object of this element. Contains data computed from USS files or inline styles written to this object in C#.
tooltip	string	Text to display inside an information box after the user hovers the element for a small amount of time. This is only supported in the Editor UI.
usage-hints	UIElements.UsageHints	A combination of hint values that specify high-level intended usage patterns for the VisualElement. This property can only be set when the VisualElement is not yet part of a Panel. Once part of a Panel, this property becomes effectively read-only, and attempts to change it will throw an exception. The specification of proper UsageHints drives the system to make better decisions on how to process or accelerate certain operations based on the anticipated usage pattern. Note that those hints do not affect behavioral or visual results, but only affect the overall performance of the panel and the elements within. It’s advised to always consider specifying the proper UsageHints, but keep in mind that some UsageHints might be internally ignored under certain conditions (e.g. due to hardware limitations on the target platform).
view-data-key	string	Used for view data persistence, such as tree expanded states, scroll position, or zoom level. This key is used to save and load the view data from the view data store. If you don’t set this key, the persistence is disabled for the associated VisualElement. For more information, refer to View data persistence.
