Dear ROOTers,
I would like to report you the strange behavior of the TBranch::Fill compared to the TTree::Fill. In my real life case I have a TTree with several branches; I don't need (and don't want) to fill all branches,but I would like to indivually fill only branches I'm interested in. For this reason, I'm getting from the TTree the branch I need, I'm setting the address of the TBranch to a local variable and finally I call TBranch::Fill(). Everything is working fine but the tree browser, indeed if I browse the TTree and double click on a leaf instead of drawing the leaf content on a canvas, nothing is happening.
I discovered that if I replace the TBranch::Fill call with a TTree::Fill, the tree broswer is working again, but every time I have all branches filled. Here attached a simplified example, calib.h and calib.cxx contain the class defining the branch content, and test.C a simple macro to fill in a tree using in one case TBranch::Fill and in the other TTree::Fill.
Is this the correct behavior? If so, is there any workaround to have branches browsable and individually fillable? I played a bit with the branch status, but unsuccessfully.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Antonio
