thanks, I have made good progress, but on the Tree controll, when I click on a node, I want it to change the text in a scrolling text box. select() appears to be the only likely command to detect if a node in the tree is clicked, there is really not enough information on the Tree control to tell me what i need to know to make it work.

Within the window:

PHP Code:


// the option list
  new GuiScrollCtrl("item_scroll")
    {
    width=150;
    height=300;

   new GuiTreeViewCtrl("item_list")
     {
      width=150;
      height=400;
      columns="0 16";
      visible=true;  
      addnode("test1");   
      addnode("test2");   
      addnode("test3");   
     }
  }

// scrolling text window
  new GuiScrollCtrl("item_desc_scroll")
    {
    width=150;
    height=150;
    
    new GuiMLTextCtrl("item_desc_text")
      {
        wordwrap=true;
        text="hi there i am some text";
      }
    }

/* so this is what i tried to detect the action of the node being clicked with the mouse to change the text box to something else. But it dosent work. What is the propper detection for that action?*/

function onitem_list.select()
{
  item_desc_text.text="you clicked a node";
} 


thanks again for the support
