Treeview
This control enables you to create a treeview.
Control Styles
These control styles are available when creating a Treeview control. Remember that the general styles disabled, group, notheme, tabstop and transparent apply to all DCX controls.
balloon | The treeview and treeview item tooltips will use the balloon style.
checkbox | Enables Checkbox support in the treeview.
editlabel | Makes the treeview items editable.
fullrow | Selection highlight is the full row of the item. Cannot be used with haslines.
hasbuttons | Enables ± buttons on the side of items containing child items for expand/collapse operations.
haslines | Items are linked with lines.
linesatroot | Enables lines to be connected to the root item (needs the haslines style to work).
nohscroll | Disables horizontal scrolling in the treeview.
noscroll | Disables scrolling in the treeview.
notooltips | Disables tooltip popup on items.
showsel | Selection is always visible, even when control loses focus.
singleexpand | Causes the item being selected to expand and the item being unselected to collapse upon selection in the tree view. If the user holds down the CTRL key while selecting an item, the item being unselected will not be collapsed.
Treeview
The treeview control has an engine that parses the given item "path" data to know where to insert/delete/modify a given item in the control. The parameters you supply are a space separated numerical token list of the treeview branches that lead to the item position:
Format | N N N ... N
Example | 1 2 3
This position represents the 3rd child branch of the 2nd child branch of the first branch as shown by the selected item in the picture below: You can also use the value -1 for any of the values to indicate the parser that you want to insert the item at the end of the branch (if used as the last path number) or to select the last branch of a given sub-path (if not used as last path number).
Example | -1 -1
This would add the item at the end of the last branch in the first column of branches. Note: If you specify a path that does not exist the engin will reverse to the last valid path encoutered during parsing.
/xdid flags
Control commands are input to the control with the /xdid command.
/xdid -a
This command lets you add an item to the treeview.
Syntax: | /xdid -a [DNAME] [ID] [PATH] [TAB] [+FLAGS] [ICON] [SICON] [OVERLAY] [STATE] [INTEGRAL] [COLOR] [BGCOLOR] (Item Text) [TAB] (Tooltip Text)
Example: | /xdid -a dcx 4 $+(-1 2 4,$chr(9),+bc 1 1 0 0 0 $rgb(0,0,255) Item Text,$chr(9),Tooltip)
Parameters:
+FLAGS | Item flags.
b | Item text is bold.
c | Item text is colored (COLOR is the text color).
g | Background is colored (BGCOLOR is the background color).
e | Item is expanded.
i | The item is italic.
s | Item appears selected.
u | Item text is underlined.
ICON | Icon index number from the normal icon list.
SICON | Selected Icon index number from the normal icon list.
OVERLAY | Icon index number from the normal icon list that was marked as an overlay icon. (Note: Not functional yet)
STATE | Icon index number from the state icon list.
0 | No check.
1 | Unchecked.
2 | Checked
INTEGRAL | Multiple of the regular treeview item height.
COLOR | Item text color of the treeview item in $rgb() format. (Needs to add flag +c to work)
BGCOLOR | Background color of the treeview item in $rgb() format. (Needs to add flag +g to work)
Note. You can use 0 for the #ICON, #SICON, and #OVERLAY values if you wish to use no icon. You need to use checkbox style in order to use checkboxes in the treeview. INTEGRAL is calculated in this manner. 0 = normal height, 1 = twice the height, 2 = 3X height, etc.
