Handling an Organization Chart control by programming
An Organization Chart control can be: - handled by programming.
- linked to a data file.
This help page explains how to handle an Organizational Chart control by programming. Handling the Organization Chart control by programming Adding a root element A root element of an organization chart is the element from which the entire tree structure is built. Adding a "root" element into an Organization Chart control is performed by OrgAdd. This function accepts two syntaxes: - syntax used to specify the element characteristics: title, image, ...
Example:
// Adds a root element
OrgAdd(ORG_HR, "Emma Brown")
Remark: OrgAdd is used to insert an image into the element (on the left of the text). - syntax that handles an OrgElement variable.
// Add elements into the Organization Chart control
// Root element
ElementCEO is OrgElement
ElementCEO.Title = "Big Boss"
OrgAdd(ORG_EXECUTIVE, ElementCEO)
Remark: The OrgElement type is used to configure several specific options: - tooltip,
- background color of element,
- background image of element,
- font for title and content,
- orientation of element.
Adding child elements Adding child elements into an Organization Chart control is performed by OrgAddChild. This function accepts two syntaxes: - syntax used to specify the element characteristics: title, content, ...
OrgAdd(ORG_NoName1, "Emma")
OrgAddChild(ORG_NoName1, 1, "Paul Martin")
OrgAddChild(ORG_NoName1, 1, "Florence Mitchell")
OrgAddChild(ORG_NoName1, 3, "Gary Prince")
OrgAddChild(ORG_NoName1, 3, "John Desanti")
- syntax that handles an OrgElement variable.
// Add elements into the Organization Chart control
// Root element
ElementCEO is OrgElement
ElementCEO.Title = "Big Boss"
OrgAdd(ORG_EXECUTIVE, ElementCEO)
// Child elements
Element2 is OrgElement
Element2.Title = "Production"
OrgAddChild(ORG_EXECUTIVE, 1, Element2)
Element3 is OrgElement
Element3.Title = "Sales"
OrgAddChild(ORG_EXECUTIVE, 1, Element3)
The Property ColorFond of the Variable OrgElement allows to define a display Color for an element. If no background color is defined, the Organization Chart control will automatically use the default color.
Deleting an element OrgDelete is used to delete an element (as well as its children) from an Organization Chart control.
// Deletes the element 15 and its children
OrgDelete(ORG_MyOrganizationChart, 15)
OrgDeleteAll is used to delete all elements found in an Organization Chart control. Handling an element found in the Organization Chart control The elements of an Organization Chart control are handled via their subscripts. Each element of the Organization Chart control is associated with an identifier (subscript). This subscript is returned: This subscript is used by all functions for handling elements (selection, deletion, ...). To handle or modify a specific element in the Organization Chart control, simply: - define an OrgElement variable.
- assign the desired element of the Organizational Chart control to it.
Then, the element can be handled by the OrgElement properties. For example:
MyElement is OrgElement
MyElement = ORG_MyOrganizationChart[2]
Trace(MyElement.Title)
Changing the orientation of an element It is possible to change the orientation of an element of the Organization Chart control using the Property Orientation90 of the type OrgElement. Therefore, a child element can be displayed on the right of its parent. The following code is used to change the orientation of the element that was clicked:
// Select an element of ORG_NoName1
MyElement is OrgElement
MyElement = ORGA_SansName1 [ORGA_SansName1]
MyOrientation90 = NOT MyOrientation90
ORGA_SansName1 [ORGA_SansName1] <-
