Overview

A browsing TreeView Table control is a treeview table linked to a data file or to a query. In this case, the TreeView Table can only be linked to a data file or a query loaded in memory.

The TreeView Table control is now available for WEBDEV sites.

The TreeView Table control is now available for PHP sites.

How to?

Creating a browsing TreeView Table control

To create a browsing TreeView Table control:

In the ribbon:
- On the "Creation" pane, in the "Data" group, expand "Table and List Box" and select "TreeView Table".
- On the "Creation" pane, in the "Data" group, expand "Table" and select "TreeView Table".
Click where the control will be created in the window.
Display the "Content" tab of the description of the Table control.
This tab is used to define the different sources of the TreeView Table control. Indeed, a browsing TreeView Table control is linked to different sources, used to display nested records.
Select the fill mode: "File/Query".
Define (if necessary) the links of the different columns in the TreeView Table control.

Versions 19 and later

"Delayed fill of sub-levels" option
When a browsing TreeView Table control includes several elements and sub-elements, its entire fill may be quite long.

The "Delayed fill of sub-levels (faster)" option allows to fill each sub-level only when the user clicks to scroll down a level.. In this case, the filling time is spread out and the initial fill is much faster.

Remark: To use this option on a TreeView Table control filled by programming, call ..AddChildDelayed.

The TreeView Table creation wizard starts.
In the wizard, select "Display the data from an existing file or query". Go to the next step.
Define the different sources of the TreeView Table. Indeed, a hierarchical file table is linked to different sources, allowing to display nested records.

Remark: If this information is not specified in the wizard, the data can be modified in the "Content" tab of control.

Defining the sources for the browsing TreeView Table control

To define the sources of the browsing TreeView Table control:

Click the "Add" button. A "<None>" source is automatically added.
Define the characteristics of this source:
- Source: corresponds to the data file or to the query that will be browsed.
- Browse: corresponds to the search key used to browse the source.
- Displayed: corresponds to the item displayed in the first column of the TreeView Table control.
  Remark: For each level, you have the ability to customize the collapsed image and the expanded image.
Define (if necessary) the source of the link for the previous level. For example, if the first level browses the Customer data file, the second one can browse the Orders data file for example. The "Customer.CustomerID" and "Orders.CustomerID" items will be used for the link. By default, the source of the link is automatically deduced from the items and the links defined in the analysis.
Define as many sources as necessary.

The first column of the TreeView Table control displays the "Displayed" data from the selected sources.

Special case: Recursive browsing TreeView Table
A file TreeView Table control can display records depending on the previous record (classic case of a recursive link allowing for example to manage parents / children)

To manage this type of hierarchical table, it is possible to define a reflexive link in the tab "Contents" of the field description window..
The "root" rows are associated with a record for which the link item corresponds to 0 or empty (according to the type of item).

Defining the links for the columns of the browsing TreeView Table control

By default, the first column of the browsing TreeView Table control (column representing the hierarchy) displays the elements specified in the sources ("Content" tab, "Displayed" value of the different sources).

The TreeView Table control can also display other data in its other columns.

To define the links of the different columns:

Create a new column if necessary ("New" in the description window of the TreeView Table control) or select an existing column.
Display the "Link" tab and define the requested link. The link can be:
- single-file: in this case, the link affects one of the source files of the TreeView Table control.
  If one of the records displayed by the TreeView Table control is modified, this modification is automatically applied to the associated data file.
- multi-file: in this case, the link can be performed with one of the files linked to one of the source files.
  If one of the records displayed by the TreeView Table control is modified, this modification will not be automatically applied to the associated data file. It must be managed by programming.
Validate.
