GUITreeViewEx - New Release 11 Jan 15

[Melba23]

[NEW RELEASE] - 11 Jan 15

Added: A new function (_GUITreeViewEx_SaveTV) to save the current TreeView (and checkbox state).

Changed: A number of function names have been altered to reflect that at present the UDF is mainly oriented towards checkbox management (but stick around... ). This is script breaking so please do look at the new names if you have already used the UDF in a script.

New zip below.

---

A recent thread dealt with getting TreeViews with checkboxes to automatically check/clear associated items when a checkbox was actioned. It seemed like a good idea for a UDF and so here it is. I think the examples are pretty self-explanatory: initialise a TreeView once it is filled, register the UDF NOTIFY handler and then check/clear some checkboxes!

Additional functionalities are the ability to check/clear ALL checkboxes in the TreeView and to stop the UDF acting on a previously initialised TreeView. There are also functions to fill/save a TreeView using a text string to define the item titles and the levels at which they should be created which has no link to the other UDF functions but seemeduseful to add.

Here is a zip containing the UDF and examples in both MessageLoop & OnEvent mode:

As always, comments, compliments and criticisms welcomed.

Very nice!

I actually have a perfect use for this, thank you Melba!

[qwert]

Very useful.  Thanks.  I hope you don't mind me attaching this screen shot to help get the point of it across.

Melba23, Take a look at this post. The code utilizes the fact, that there is a unique correlation between the structure of a treeview and the levels of the treeview items, to store and restore the text items and structure of a treeview. That could be interesting for this example. To be able to store/restore the structure of a treeview would be valuable.

I would prefer names like _GUITreeViewEx_InitChecked and _GUITreeViewEx_Checked_All instead of _GUITreeViewEx_InitTV and _GUITreeViewEx_Adjust_All.

LarsJ,

I agree a _SaveTV function would be a good idea - I shall look into creating one. As to your suggested function name changes, I agree that the specific "checkbox" ones could be better named, but I think I will retain the _InitTV name - who knows how the UDF might develop? I already have some ideas where I might go next.

Thanks for sharing.

I wonder if this UDF can use another one.

I am thinking about _GUIRegisterMsgEx () UDF.

I myself am trying to implement _GUIRegisterMsgEx () in my own solutions (although still not everywhere).

[Melba23]

mLipok,

There have had many discussions during the past year about whether to add a multi-messageregister UDF to AutoIt (there are 3 that I know of: yours, one from guinness and one from myself). In the last development period >I asked Jon about getting this functionality into core and his response was pretty clear, so a UDF is the only way to go. Although I believe that such a UDF would be a great advantage and make UDF writing very much easier, others are equally adamant that such a UDF should not be added as essentially it would need to replace the built-in function (because obviously all message registering would need to be done via the UDF or the entire chain would fail) and UDFs should offer something new and not just act as a workaround for an existing function. There was some work started on a subclassing UDF to achieve the same effect but that was never completed and was, in my opinion, a bit complex. I live in hope that we might one day get this functionality in AutoIt, but until then we are stuck with the method I use in this UDF of having separate handlers inside a single wrapper function. >

Good afternoon
You can add a function that will remove the check mark in another subparagraph. How does it work when using two or more radio buttons in a group

Excuse for machine translation

[Melba23]

joiner,

You need a better machine translator!

You can add a function that will remove the check mark in another subparagraph

Is this a request for a new function or an offer to provide one? At present, the UDF only reacts to checkmarks made by the user within the same tree path - it does not make changes to "another subparagraph".

How does it work when using two or more radio buttons in a group

The UDF works with TreeViews, not radio buttons.

Try another translation site and perhaps post some code to explain the problem you are having.

 You understood me

Whether but it is possible to realize the principle - a choice only of one subparagraph. In the others tags automatically are removed

joiner,

From that I understand that you are asking me to add functions which will let you insert and delete elements into a TreeView. I am happy to tell you that you are in luck as amending this UDF to do that (and more) is what I have set myself as my AutoIt summer project. So stick around and see what results!

He asks to add the ability (flag or something else) that will use the checkbox like radio button for the specified group. Look at the "C" item and subitems from his example.

[Melba23]

Yashied,

Thanks - light begins to dawn! Did you use Russian telepathy to understand each other? I will see what I can do.

joiner,

Sorry it has taken so long, but I have finally got around to producing something. Does the new _GUITreeViewEx_AutoCheckExclude function in this Beta code do what you require?

How about function to init tree view from an array? Did you think about it to add to your UDF? It could load data from this structure:
