Treeviews Problem

[JellyFish666]

I always hated treeview in my script but I must add one and since I have never been good with them or seen no use for them I avoided them as much as possible, but now I need it but have no clue what to do.

The problem is the treeview I must add in my script is for the user to change the treeview but not sure how I can go about doing this without using variables for the trees and the child trees.

I think I need something sort of like this except instead of reading the "Child Input Box" it would be a "Child Edit Box" having trouble splitting the data and plotting it into the treeview.

I also would like to know how to fix this script when you hit add the first one it builds doesn't have the + button and I know why it is doing that it because the Parent of the treeview isn't build yet but whats the best way of going about fixing it.

I am tired and my heads been hurting all day so can't really think

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <TreeViewConstants.au3>

$Test = GUICreate("Test", 250, 250)
$Tree = GUICtrlCreateTreeView(0, 0, 250, 195)
$Name = GUICtrlCreateInput("Tree Name" , 0 , 200 , 125 , 25)
$Child = GUICtrlCreateInput("Tree Child" , 125 , 200 , 125 , 25)
$Add = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add" , 0 , 225 , 250 , 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $Msg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Add
            _UpdateTree(GUICtrlRead($Name) , GUICtrlRead($Child))
    EndSwitch
WEnd



Func _UpdateTree($TreeName , $TreeChild)
    $TreeView = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem($TreeName, $Tree)
    GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem($TreeChild, $TreeView)
EndFunc

well I am at it is there a way to read a inputbox and a edit box of data and see if they are exactly the same

This is my edit box

hi
hello
Thanks
Welcome

and say my input box is searching for the word "Thanks" so it will be found by reading the edits box buffer.

Might be easier for you to understand it you rename a couple of the variables and reverse the order you pass them to the function.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <TreeViewConstants.au3>

$Test = GUICreate("Test", 250, 250)
$Add = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add" , 0 , 225 , 250 , 25)
$Name = GUICtrlCreateInput("Tree Parent" , 0 , 200 , 125 , 25)
$Child = GUICtrlCreateInput("Tree Child" , 125 , 200 , 125 , 25)
$Tree = GUICtrlCreateTreeView(0, 0, 250, 195)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $Msg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $Add
            _UpdateTree( GUICtrlRead($Child), GUICtrlRead($Name) )
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func _UpdateTree($hChild , $hParent)
  ;; Here we just create a variable name for the item so you can refer to it later
   $sDisp = "Tvi_" & StringReplace($hChild, Chr(32), "_");;No spaces allowed in variable names so we replace them with _
 ;  Here we assign the name to the TVItem and make it Global
   Assign($sDisp, GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem($hChild, $hParent), 1)
EndFunc

I am just wondering does this example actually work or is it for me to study, because I can't seem to get it to do anything, anyways I am going to go to bed now thanks for the help.

If possible is there a way to do this without using variables.

also can you have a picture background treeview I made one sort of but its buggy.

I was in bed when I wrote it and it was just an example. Didn't work because I left out a very important line.

Give me time for a few cups of coffee and I'll revisit this.

Thanks, I got what I want working now, but it there a better way of splitting them?

Func _UpdateTree($TreeName , $TreeChild)
;$TreeView = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem($TreeName, $Tree)
;GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem($TreeChild, $TreeView)

    $Split = StringSplit($TreeChild , " ")
    $i = 1
    If $Split[$i] = "" Then
        MsgBox(0 , "Error" , "Incorrect Link: Please make sure your link is in this format" & @CRLF & @CRLF & "test")
    ElseIf Not StringInStr($Split[$i] , "test") Then
        MsgBox(0 , "Error" , "Incorrect Link: Please make sure your link is in this format" & @CRLF & @CRLF & "test")
    Else
    $TreeView = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem($TreeName, $Tree)
    Do
    If $i = 1 Then
        GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem($Split[$i] , $TreeView)
        Else
        GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem(StringTrimLeft($Split[$i] , 2), $TreeView)
    EndIf
        $i = $i +1
    Until $i = $Split[0]
    EndIf
EndFunc

You will really have to give more details of your code.

Here is some working code that does what you asked in the first place.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <TreeViewConstants.au3>

$Test = GUICreate("Test", 250, 280)
$Add = GUICtrlCreateButton("Add" , 0 , 250 , 250 , 25)

$Name = GUICtrlCreateInput("" , 0 , 220 , 125 , 25)
$Lbl_Child = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Tree Child", 125, 200, 125, 20, 1)

Thanks.
