Treeview Node Editor

The Treeview Node Editor allows maintenance of nodes within a ttreeview. The editor consists of two lists and nine buttons.

Before working with the editor, it is generally best to associate any user defined imagelists needed to the treeview. This will simplify the image index association process as buttons are defined. If no imagelists are defined, the runtime's default imagelist is used.

The edit window may be resized and a splitter is available to allow resizing the buttons list.

Editor Lists

The list on the left side of the editor shows the current state of the treeview and nodes. The list on right shows the selected node's properties. The selected node is highlighted in the left hand list titled "Treeview" and may be changed by clicking the desired node name

OK

The OK button signals that modifications to the treeview are complete and the treeview is updated. The editor is then closed.

Cancel

The Cancel button indicates that any modifications to the treeview should be discarded and the editor closed.

Add

The Add button inserts a new node into the treeview. The node name defaults to Node{nn} where {nn} is a sequential value.

Remove

The Remove button deletes the selected node from the treeview. The selected node is highlighted in the left hand list titled "Treeview".

Load

The Load button allows selection of a previously saved set of node definitions. The Load/Save feature allows the definition of a treeview that can then be used in multiple forms promoting consistency and speeding form creation. Note that upon selecting the Load function, any previously defined treeview nodes are removed before the new nodes are added.

Store

The Store button saves the current set of treeview node definitions. Once selected, the user is prompted for a unique name to identify the definition set. The treeview nodes are then saved for future use in other forms.

Help

The Help button displays this page in a new window.

Up, Down, Right, or Left

The Up and Down Arrow buttons located between the two lists of the editor allow the order of the selected node to be changed. The Right and Left buttons demote or promote the item repectively.
