[106:7] extends: Node, Control
The TreeView class wraps the JavaFX TreeView control, which displays hierarchical data as an expandable and collapsible tree. Each node in the tree is represented by a TreeItem, and the root TreeItem can optionally be hidden so the top-level children appear as the visual roots. TreeView supports single and multiple selection modes and fires selection-change events when the user clicks a different item. The tables below list every CSS property available to TreeView, organized by the class level where each property is defined.
