Tristate GUI TreeView

[Holger]

Hi

here is the lib you could use to create a GUI tristate treeview.

Just take a look in the zip-file.

Extract all files in to the same dir and the take a look into the sample-file.

I also put some state image bitmaps in.

It's just like a beginning (version 0.2).

The next thing I'm working on is to check for the right state:

that means it's not usefull to put the state "GUI_INDERMINATE" manually to an item!

And if the state of an item is changing then call a userdefined function to i.e. set another entry in the combo box(like in the sample) or doing some other things...

If you have any problems/question then just let me know

very nice indeed!

Holger, excellent! Just what I needed!

BTW, for people who like to add icons to their treeviews with _GUICtrlTreeViewSetIcon, make certain you call LoadStateImage after _GUICtrlTreeViewSetIcon

[Holger]

Update-15.10.2006: Fixed a small bug if using it in compiled file with icons (Thanks to Analyzer from German Autoit-Forum).

P.S.: Thanks @markloman for additional info:

Holger..

I simply love what you've done!

Excellent work !!!

[AutoItKing]

Dude, this rocks! Great work, looking forward to more great scripts from you!

[BigDaddyO]

Holger,

Has there been any advancement with this really usefull script? like perhaps a UDF???

I have attached a modified version of the scripts to basically do the Opposite of the origional script. You are not able to select any child objects without the parent being enabled, and if you uncheck a parent item, all it's children get unchecked and disabled.

Thanks,

Mike

Could someone give me more detailed information on how to get the checkboxes to work after the script is compiled?

(Specifically the note in the script about adding the bmp file into the EXE using ResHacker.exe)

I have tried it about 12 different ways and I can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks,

Mike

I don't get what's wrong... I save the files, open the sample... run it and get a bunch of errors.

"Samples" should work right out the box, so was this made with an older version? Or is there further setup that has to be done before this will work?

This is one kickass script , Excellent

[Henke]

Yeah I get the same weather forecast as London...

Any ideas on how to get rid of these warnings?

Many thanks

Henrik.

when you build a exe from the script and run it standalone it doesn't work. One user here already pointed that out before but i think noone spotted this. It looks very nice but I really would love to know why that happens.

Appreciate the feedback,

Glenn

[Holger]

Please read the sample-file text again then you know how to use a bmp together with compiled exe file.

P.S.: while reading please replace the line

You could also use a integrated bmw...

I see what happened, I got acquainted to this package from within an installer I was trying to modify to my needs and it didn't come with a sample file. I've got it now though so I'll look into this now. So the bottom line -so far I can tell- it can't access the bmp's from disk when an exe is being made, correct ? Is this an AutoIT limit ?

Thanks for responding so fast, really appreciate this.

I must say, I'm still a bit in the dark here, I can see the contents and the icons fine in the exe with resourcehacker but I'm not knowledable about how to actually add these nice little green ones in the exe. tbh, I find this fairly cucumbersome and I wonder why the code does work when I for example run it from scite... Doesn't anybody here need a exe ? I mean, examples are very nice and learnful but being able to use this in lets call it -disrespectfully sounding- the real world would make this and even more excellent program. Why can't the program find the bmp's on disk ? That's really my problem I guess. The issue here is also that the defaults aren't being respected (you know, main program -> required) when it cant seem to find these bitmaps, that's perhaps even more of an issue to some here.

Anyway, if any more insights into this lib is very welcome, again I appreciate all the hard work. I'm just trying to help improve the usability, atleast from my perspective.

You the king of kings!

great great great great.

Now all i have to do it to make it that you can only choose one subcategory in one time

Very good project! Thanks.

I just found one small(?) bug - When the user holding «Ctrl» and pressing «Space» key on selected item, the item looses it's image, and also disabled items looses their disabled state

Any ideas how to fix it?

[MrCreatoR]

The only solution i can get to work is this (i also tried the VK codes, but no success):

Dim $n_Dummy = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
Dim $a_TTV_Accel[4][2] = [["^{SPACE}", $n_Dummy], ["^+{SPACE}", $n_Dummy], ["^!{SPACE}", $n_Dummy], ["^+!{SPACE}", $n_Dummy]]
GUISetAccelerators($a_TTV_Accel)

This should be used after GUICreate() part (perhaps inside LoadStateImage() function?).
