Tree View

[Emera]

OK, well on my "mission" to get to grips with remembering GS2 functions and understanding how everything works, I am trying my very best at using each and every command to get used to using them. I find that creating scripts using the things I am studying help me to understand the controls better. For instance...

NPC Code:

---

Online Log Reader - Reading and writing from.txt files

Chat System - Using triggerserver and triggerclient

Item Spawner - Using putnpc2(); and using classes

---

I now want to be able to get to grips with using a tree view control in my scripts. I don't actually know how I would go about using this but if anybody has any ideas or wants to explain to me in depth what a tree view control actually does I will be very happy with that! ^_^

Here is what I know already.

Tree views can be created and added too by using both parents and and children. The parent control is the "top of the tree" and the children grow down the tree. It can be used to store multiple bursts of short information and picking options from each of the nodes.

It's just a tree list.

Example from SQL Explorer:

PHP Code:

new GuiTreeViewCtrl("SQL_Data_DBs_Tree") {
  profile = GuiBlueTreeViewProfile;

  x = 0;
  y = 0;

  fitparentwidth = true;
  horizSizing = "width";

  active = false;

  clearNodes();
  addNode("Loading...");
} 


later..

PHP Code:

with (SQL_Data_DBs_Tree) {
  clearNodes();
  active = true;

  for (temp.db: data[0]) {
    with (addNode(db[0])) {
      this.expanded = false;
      
      for (temp.table: db[1]) {
        this.expanded = false;

        with (addNode(table[0])) {
          this.database = db[0];

          for (temp.idx: table[1]) {
            with (addNode(idx[0] @ " (" @ idx[1] @ ")")) {
              image = selectedimage = 2;

              this.indexName = idx[0];
              this.columns = idx[1];
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
