TreeViewCtrl Control

Purpose

Creates a TreeView control in the current active form, window, or dialog.

Syntax

TreeViewCtrl text$, id%, x, y, w, h[, style%]

text$:control text
id%:control identifier
x,y,w,h:iexp
style%:the control styles

Description

The TreeView control is designed to display data that is hierarchical in nature, such as organization trees, the entries in an index, the files and directories on a disk. Each item consists of a label and an optional bitmapped image, and each item can have a list of subitems associated with it. By clicking an item, the user can expand or collapse the associated list of subitems.

The command creates a control without an OCX wrapper; so it and cannot be handled using properties, methods, and event subs. When used in a form the WM_NOTIFY message should be handled in the form's _MessageProc sub.

Example

Form frm

TreeViewCtrl "", 10, 20, 20, 150, 200

Do

Sleep

Until Me Is Nothing

 

Sub frm_MessageProc(hWnd%, Mess%, wParam%, lParam%, retval%, ValidRet?)

Dim hdr As Pointer NMHDR

Switch Mess

Case WM_NOTIFY

Pointer(hdr) = lParam

Print hdr.idfrom

EndSwitch

EndSub

Type NMHDR

hwndFrom As Long

idfrom As Long

code As Long

EndType

Remarks

This command is particular useful for a dialog box in a GLL, because a GLL doesn't support OCX controls.

With the general Control statement any control type can be created.
