Tree Dread

[Shyke]

On this particular project that I'm working on, it seems that I will have to use a tree control to get done what I need.

I need a tree to be able tyo have up to nine sub entries added, then up to nine sub entries for each sub entry and continuing until it's five sub entries thick. The user must be able to delete these sub entries and their "folders" of stuff that they contain. When a entry is clicked on it should display a input box, button and edit box on the other side of the GUI.

I am not asking for code here, just to be pushed in the right direction.

You need to say which part are you not clear about in order to get "pushed in the right direction," otherwise it's hard to answer you.

[BillLuvsU]

If its about the controls appearing try putting them in a child GUI and hiding the GUI then showing it. o_0

[Shyke]

To clear this up...

I'm trying to find a way to organize something that could go like this:

Main

-----Sub

----------Sub

--------------Sub

----------Sub

--------------Sub

--------------Sub

--------------Sub

------------------Sub

------------------Sub

------------------Sub

--------------Sub

----------Sub

-----Sub

-----Sub

----------Sub

-----Sub

-----Sub

-----Sub

-----Sub

-----Sub

-----Sub

And when you click on the Main or Sub, it shows those three controls on the other side.

Well to create all the Sub's, I'll recommend arrays and loops Would then also make the onclicking a lot easier

[Shyke]

Anyone else have any ideas?

Anyone else have any ideas?

Sure, as soon as you show what you've actually tried .

GuiSetState()

    $msg = GuiGetMsg()

The GUI crap I have done.

I'm not going to get into the actual coding of it and the like until I have a GUI that works as it's supposed to.

You're kidding right? I meant ... show what you have "tried", there' s no effort there at all.

A couple questions based on that:

1. Why does as each proceeding SQ View Item go higher, the amount it shows goes lower?

2. Is there anyway to make what I have there more efficient/less code?

3. How do I set the bg color of the tree to the same color as the program?

Also, if anyone sees anything that I can improve on here, please point it out and give a suggestion.

[Shevilie]

Again theres a very fine loop possible

[Shyke]

Mind demonstrating? If I knew how to do it myself, I wouldn't be asking.

[Shevilie]

You can make as many loop inside eachother as you like

For $i = 1 To 9
    $q[$i] = GuiCtrlCreateTreeViewItem("Q" & $i, $main)
    For $j = 1 To 9
        $sq[$i][$j] = GuiCtrlCreateTreeViewItem("SQ" & $i, $q[$j])
    Next
Next

[Shevilie]

And if you want the "tree" to be able to go 5 subs down... then were talking 5 loops inside each other

Thanks for the help!

Questions:

1. Why does as each proceeding SQ View Item go higher, the amount it shows goes lower?

2. How do I set the bg color of the tree to the same color as the program?

3. Why doesn't it display anything else on the GUI now?

Thanks Smoke, I forgot about that.

Do you know how I could get around this or is there a better way to create these 7380 controls JUST in the tree?

If you find randallc signature, if I'm not mistaken, he may have come with with a way to exceed the control limitation with the treeview (although I can't remember if it was controls for treeview specific or listview)
