Place treeview controls in Base forms

Post by arfgh »

During these years I wanted to place a treeview control into my base forms. But for some reason I don't know, that control is not possible to be added. I am only able to add it and use it into Dialogs ONLY. Just want to know if anybody knows the possible reason of this missing because, I have found that treeview control very useful for many showing custom trees into any DB.

And going further... will it be possible by some way to enable that control to be used into our base forms ?

thx in advance

You have asked the same question twice previously. You can review your previous topics. Perhaps no one knows how to do that. Perhaps it isn't possible and you are wasting your time, and ours. Based on these topics it seems that no one else is sufficiently interested to investigate your question because no one but you wants this capability.

nobody wants this capability ? and how you know it since it is disabled to be used into forms.

Some of the authors of "Writers assistant" applications which interface with OpenOffice use outside libraries - python, c++ - to provide such treeview controls for their applications. Often their code is readily available.

In the code of some of such applications, you might find treeview controls that you could easily adapt to your requirement.

RoryOF no. You can do anything with the treeview control only in the Dialogs, It is no possible to add it in base forms. So... explain that point of yours.

You may have to find or write code to cause a treeview control to integrate with your requirement.

Andrew Pitonyak's works may help.

and what you think that I did to use it in the base Dialos ? because only adding it is useless, but again, that's the problem. We can not add the treeview control into base forms.
