Forms - Treeview control ?

[arfgh]

Hey there friends.

I am guessing if is possible to create and use a Treeview control in a form.
I meant a form, not a dialog.

If not, why not ? I is a very useful control for certain things and i used it in the past in other programming laguage.

bump!

Use Forum search at top right of Forum window to search for "treeview" (no quotes") I can recollect code having been given for such an addition; if the code is not directly applicable to forms, it should be easily adapted by you as you require it.

Any form control stores one value in a particular column of the form's current table row. Which kind of value will you store from a tree control?

[arfgh]

the controls can be used even to show other information and not just to store data in the db table.
That's the reason to want to use the treeview for other purposes. But the control is not there to be added, yes on dialogs. So i cant understand that detail.

Think about it. What is the hierarchic structure you want to transfer from your tables into a treeview? Draw it on a sheet of paper. Then start to program. Finally you may build an UNO interface that makes it possible to link database relations to treeviews.

^^ i repeat that db stored data is not what i want to put on the treeview. Just want to use it for other purposes, like for example to show a schematic structure of the DB, or to act as hyperlinks on structure, etc etc. Not necesarily we have to use the controls to show db stored data...

[Villeroy]

Go ahead. Just do it.

[arfgh]

Ok Villeroy, but need that you explain what you are pointing because... i am not understanding where you want to reach.

[Villeroy]

I don't want to reach anything with treeviews.

[arfgh]

what i meant is that treeview control is not possible to be added to base forms. And i dont understand why, because it has several possible uses.
So why on dialgos and why not on base forms.
And other than that, is there some programmatically way to add it to base forms ?
