B4J Tutorial [BANanoWebix] Lesson 13 The TreeView

Hi

The treeview is basically that, a tree view. You add items and children and can also trap the itemClick event for the item to get the key selected..

Here we use .SetData to load data to the treeview the normal way and also execute an AddNode method to both add an element and its child. We also add an event to trap the item click.

B4X:
Dim prop As WixTree
    prop.Initialize("tree").SetSelect(True).Setborderless(False)
    prop.SetStyle("margin", "10px")
    prop.SetTypeLineTree   ' show the line between items
    prop.SetGroupBy("#year#")  ' still buggy...
    
    'load flat data
    Dim data As List
    data.Initialize
    data.Add(CreateMap("id":1, "value":"The Shawshank Redemption", "year":1994, "votes":678790, "rating":9.2, "rank":1))
    data.Add(CreateMap("id":2, "value":"The Godfather", "year":1972, "votes":511495, "rating":9.2, "rank":2))
    data.Add(CreateMap("id":3, "value":"The Godfather: Part II", "year":1974, "votes":319352, "rating":9.0, "rank":3))
    data.Add(CreateMap("id":4, "value":"The Good, the Bad And the Ugly", "year":1966, "votes":213030, "rating":8.9, "rank":4))
    data.Add(CreateMap("id":5, "value":"Pulp fiction", "year":1994, "votes":533848, "rating":8.9, "rank":5))
    data.Add(CreateMap("id":6, "value":"12 Angry Men", "year":1957, "votes":164558, "rating":8.9, "rank":6))
    
    prop.SetData(data)
    
    pg.Page.AddRows(prop.Item)
    
    '
    pg.ui
    '
    pg.AddNode("tree", CreateMap("id":7, "value":"Mashy","year":1973))
    pg.AddChildNode("tree","7", CreateMap("id":8,"value":"Ozzie","year":2003))
    pg.Refresh("tree")
    '
    Dim recid As String
    pg.OnItemClick("tree", BANano.CallBack(Me, "tree_itemclick", Array(recid)))

The AddNode & AddChildNode methods WORK after the element has been added to the UI.

With the item click method, we read the id of the selected record.

B4X:
Sub tree_itemclick(recid As String)
    recid = pg.CStr(recid)
    '
    pg.Message(recid)   
End Sub

One can then read the details of the record using the id from a DB and process it.

Using flat data..

We can also use flat data to create the treeview items by using the .AddItem method.

B4X:
prop.AddItem("","songs","Songs","","","2","",True)
    prop.AddItem("songs", "metallica", "Metallica","","","3","",True)
    prop.AddItem("metallica", "es", "Enter Sandman","","","","",False)
    prop.AddItem("metallica", "rhl", "Ride the Lighning","","","","",False)
    prop.AddItem("metallica", "hero", "Hero of the Day","","","","",False)
    '
    prop.AddItem("songs", "billyjoel", "Billy Joel","","","2","",True)
    prop.AddItem("billyjoel", "mo", "Movin' Out","","","","",False)
    prop.AddItem("billyjoel", "pm", "Piano Man","","","","",False)
    '
    Dim data As List = pg.Unflatten(prop.Items, "data")
    prop.SetData(data)
  
    pg.Page.AddRows(prop.Item)

This assumes a parent & child relationship per item to be added to the treeview.
