TreeView::getNumSelectedItems(int level = -1)

Hi,

Another useful idea, when you’re dealing with meta-information as child in a tree view.
Usually, you can want to count your children up to a given sub-level.
This is done by changing the TreeViewItem::countSelectedItemsRecursively() method and the TreeView::getNumSelectedItems method, to add a level parameter.
The code then reads:

// juce::TreeView::getNumSelectedItems in ../../src/gui/components/controls/juce_TreeView.cpp:540
return (rootItem != 0) ? rootItem->countSelectedItemsRecursively(level) : 0;

// juce::TreeViewItem::countSelectedItemsRecursively in ../../src/gui/components/controls/juce_TreeView.cpp:1622
int TreeViewItem::countSelectedItemsRecursively(int level = -1) const throw()
{
        if (level == 0) return 0;
        int total = 0;

        if (isSelected())
            ++total;

        for (int i = subItems.size(); --i >= 0;)
            total += subItems.getUnchecked(i)->countSelectedItemsRecursively(level - 1);

        return total;
}

Similarly for the getSelectedItem method.

Ok, sounds like a simple enough addition…
