Tree array: How to edit item for an array element

[02Fede69]

Hi,

I have an array of tree controls. I need to get the reference of i-th tree in order to edit items. I used

array IndexVals property to select the element and array ElemRef property to get the element reference but

when I try to modify the i-th tree all trees inside array are modified. If I use this technic on an array of strings it works?

Someone can help me?

Thanks a lot

Federico

I could be wrong, but the problem is that all elements in an array must be the same. If you say you are editing a tree, you are changing a control in the array and all other controls will change. The values that each tree outputs will be different, but the items in the tree cannot be.

Elements in an array must all be identical, except for their value.

You can change the value of an element in an array of string. You are trying to change individual properties of array elements.

Why does it need to be an array of tree controls? Maybe you could use a cluster of tree controls, or just a few individual tree controls for your purpose?

Thank you all.

I konw that my english is not good, so please be patient.The point is that I have to manage a dynamic number of report tamplate .doc. I thougth to use a single tree to manage relations between test data-entry and report bookmark. One tree one template and one data-entry N bookmarks: the tree could be the rigth data structure to storage configurations and increase search speed during report generation.

Instead of an array of trees, make it an array of clusters, each cluster containing one tree. You have to go through the hassle of one extra reference or dereference to get to the trees, but changing one tree will no longer affect all of the other trees.

I'm sorry but It doesn't work.

Hello Fede,

An array control/indicator has the same set of properties/methods associated with each element. Then it is not possible to change only a part of element properties; what I can suggest is to use a single tree control instead of an array, with a template layer related to your .doc file list.

Let me know if I have well understood your problem.

Best regards,

Fabio

Hi Fabio,

You did understand my problem.

Using only one tree It's more complicated for me, because I have to make a difference between tag (unique) and item string.

Just this.

Thank you a lot.
