Traceability: hide backwards link

[Uffe]

Hi all,

When you're traversing a model structure using the Traceability window, you get something like this:

Code: [Select]

A
    links to
        B
            links from
                AYou can't expand the inner "A" node, since that would lead to a loop in the tree.

I'd like an option to hide backwards links, so that the inner "A" node would not be shown. If that would turn the "links from" node into a leaf, that node should be hidden too.

Sound good?

Cheers,

Makes sense to me, provided it is indeed an "option"

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to expand A.
What's wrong with a loop in a tree?
I do that all the time in my EA Navigator tree.

A tree has no loops. If so, it's a graph.

A tree-view control loading sub-items on demand can handle graphs with loops correctly and consistently though.

True, but it's still displayed using the TreeView control.
(and indeed using some kind of lazy loading principle. Otherwise loading the tree would never stop)
