WX3.0.0 wxTreeCtrl

[Tim Burgess]

Hi,

I'd just like to check if the tree control now uses a cocoa class under Mac
OSX - I know that the 2.9 version was based on the Carbon control, which had
accessibility problems.

Best wishes.

It wasn't using Carbon in 2.9 but rather a generic implementation and it
still uses the same one in 3.0. If you want a native control, you need to
use wxDataViewCtrl (which is native under GTK and OSX but not Windows...).

OK, thanks for the clarification. I'm already using the data view in my Mac-specific code. It's more VoiceOver friendly than the tree control, but it's far from being a breeze for the user. Never mind, we can't have it all.

Cheers.
