Summary of feature request description

feature request description corresponding to Bug 2438.

* actual behaviour:

It is currently not possible to call a method that takes a DataTreeNode pointer as input and sets the corresponding item (if it exists) in the DataStorageComboBox as the current selected node.


* expected behaviour

A method SetSelectedNode(mitk::DataTreeNode::Pointer item) should be implemented that searches the DataStorageComboBox for this node and, if found, sets it as the current selected node. Just using an index is no satisfying solution, because the contents of the comboboxes can differ.

* Cause of the bug

Not applicable (feature request).

* Proposed solution

The new method is implemented as public method of the DataStorageComboBox. It uses the already available Find( const mitk::DataTreeNode* _DataTreeNode ) method that returns the index of the DataTreeNode (or -1 if it is not found) and calls setCurrentIndex with this index.


* How will the bugfix get tested?

Manually by the ones who are going to use the method in the future.
