GUI Treeview questions

[ReFran]

Hello,

I want to use a treeview to let a user set up or change the bookmarks for a PDF.

1.) Get Root ID = ID of first treeview item

Because I read the data from a selectable PDF, after the GUI with different TABs, btns ... is created, the root ID = ID of the first tv-item is different from the $treeview ID. The difference are all the other GUI elements I created after the empty treeview. At time I use GUICtrlRead($treeview)+14. Smarter would be to get it direct.

2.) Insert item

I found in the helpfile nothing about it. I want to let the user insert a new tv-item direct after the selected or if nothing is selected at the end.

3.)Read out treeview items with levels

Finaly I want to read out the items with level (mother, child,..) to transfer it into a PDF.

I looked at the treeview UDFs and tried also some changement of the given commands, but didn't get it to work. Is there somewhere a Doku from MS.

Best regards, Reinhard

Look at my example treeview_item_state_example.au3

where I'm using TVM_GETNEXTITEM & TVGN_xxx

It's what you need ...

Take it as a start point and modify it to your needs.

Hi,

thanks for hint. Saw it already. Sounds workfull. How to get the level (asking every item if it has a child - with which statement -). Are there any (MS) dcoumentation about the used constants, TVM_GETNEXTITEM & TVGN_xxx.

Seem to become an interesting week for a finance guy and hobbyscripter.

Have to sleep some few hours, Reinhard

You can find if item has child by _TreeViewGetItemState.au3

look at www.msdn.com in search edit type name of WIN API function of your interest:

TVM_GETNEXTITEM

TVM_GETITEM

EDIT:

You can find if item has child by TVM_GETITEM & TVIF_CHILDREN

(and not TVM_GETITEM & TVIF_STATE)

Hello,

found something at: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;155895

But reading this C++ example, your statements and the treeview UDFs, I got the impression that I have to learn more about GuiCtrlSendmessage and also perhaps about DLLCalls to puzzle some working code together.

Because I've also some other - more urgent - projects on work, I will use for the bookmarks(/treeview) edit a third party tool/gui (PDFMetaEdit) until I find the time to understand and use all the information I got and gathered.

If you find sometime a helpfile for the "commctrl" let me know. I found only one for the ComCtrl.tree.1 object which is defined in the ComCtl32.Ocx (comCtl1.hlp).

Thanks for your support, Reinhard

PS: Until I get sometime my PDF project ready you may use PDFasm and PDFMetaEdit from http://www.becyhome.de/download_eng.htm#becypdfasm

(if you have to work with PDFs).

Ok, did it ....

... attached the basic/raw code to read out all treeview items structured. I did it by reading all levels, but with today knowledge I think I could do it also with reading the tree structure down.

However, if you look at the code it shows you how you can get the handle to every item, which may be helpful in some situations. So read out and read in is not a problem and give you all possibilities to work with a treeview.

Also from the code you can see, that I'm don't really can be called a expert for writing nested loops and to work with arrays.

So improvements or a UDF (_GetTreeViewAllItemsStructured) are welcome, Reinhard.
