Question about Tree View

[cueclub]

I am trying to pull information from different files.

They will all be grouped together by name.

In treeview I would have

Last Name << This labels would be the actual name.

-First Name

-Address

-Phone Number

I currently have the above information saved into 4 different ini files.

I am writting the values as Section Keys.

Like so:

IniWriteSection(@ScriptDir & "\First Name.ini", GUICtrlRead($Name),"")

Then read it into an array such as

Local $Name2 = IniReadSectionNames(@ScriptDir & "\First Name.ini")

For $I = 1 To $Name2[0]
        GUICtrlSetData(-1, $Name2[$I] & "|")
    Next

The problem is I can not get the separate values into the TreeView based on what last name is selected.

Here is what I have so far:

expandcollapse popup

Onlastnamesearch("CueClub")
Func Onlastnamesearch($LastName)
    
    

    GUICreate("Notes for " & $LastName, 300, 250, -1, -1, "", $WS_EX_TOPMOST)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("LAST NAME", 5, 10, 60, 40)

Local $Tmp = IniReadSectionNames(@ScriptDir & "\Last Name.ini")

Local $Tmp2 = GUICtrlCreateTreeView(5, 50, 170, 100)
For $I = 1 To $tmp[0]

        $tmp3 = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem($tmp[$i], $Tmp2)
        $FirstName = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("First Name", $Tmp3)
        $Address = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("Address", $Tmp3)
        $PhoneNumber = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem("Phone Number", $Tmp3)
    Next

    Local $exit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit", 5, 160, 50, 20)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    While 1
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $exit Or $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop


                


            
                


        EndSelect
    WEnd

    GUIDelete()
EndFunc   ;==>Example

As you can see above, I can get the treeview to populate, and even the tree items, However I am stumped as to how to pull the data from the separate ini files and display them based on what is clicked on the treeview.

I have read the help file, and searched here a bit, but it is a bit confusing for me.

Any help would be appreciated.

cueclub,

Please post some examples of the ini files - without them we are just guessing how to extract the data.

If you attach them, you will need to change their extension as the forum software does not accept .ini files. Or you can put the content of each file between [code]...[/code] tags.

I seem to have forgotten that part of it Sorry bout that.

The 1st ini is lastname.ini

[lastname1]
[lastname2]
[lastname3]
[lastname4]
[lastname5]
[lastname6]
[lastname7]
[lastname8]
[lastname9]
[lastname10]

The 2nd ini is phonenums.ini

[555-555-5555]
[222-222-2222]
and so on.....

What I need to do is get the Phne number when I click on the last name in the treeview area.

Hope this explains it a bit more.

Put them all into one ini file, with the sections being the last name, or last name and first name and the values/keys being the rest of the information. Having them in separate ini files makes it impractical to coordinate a name with a phone number for example.

[cueclub]

Well I suppose I could do that, However when it gets to a company name for example. What would be the best way to write the different phone numbers to the name "Section" ?

Array perhaps?

[BrewManNH]

If you put them as phone#1 through phone#xx in the section for the company name, you could use IniReadSection to get all of the keys that are in that section.

Ok will give that a try. thx
