Sirius GUI Toolkit : View Pane

The View Pane, along with the Item Pane, provide the main body of the Sirius GUI widget set. The View Pane can be used in isolation, or wrapped together with an Item Pane using the 'CombiPane' widget, which simply creates both components and adds additional event hooks between them, so that visually highlighting an entry in the View Pane will display that item in the Item Pane without triggering a complete change of view in all associated components.

The ViewPane currently supports a columnar interface, as shown in the images below. The Item being hosted in the View Pane may provide hints as to the column types to be presented - see the logfile and filesystem screenshots for examples of this.
