VFW062 – A Tree View with Columns

1.  In the Design view, drag and drop a Pop-up Menu onto the Tree View component

     The Popup menu will be displayed at the top of the Design panel.

     Hint: Enter the menu item name and press Enter to define the next menu item.

2.  Define the Popup menu items as:

Address

Zip Code

Bus. Phone

Start Date

 

3.  Select each menu item and set its Checked property to True.

4.  Add the following code to show and hide the tree view columns:

Evtroutine Handling(#MITM_1.Click)
If (#MITM_1.checked = true)
Set Com(#TVCL_3) Visible(false)
Set Com(#MITM_1) Checked(false)
Else
Set Com(#TVCL_3) Visible(true)
Set Com(#TVCL_3) Displayposition(3)
Set Com(#MITM_1) Checked(true)
Endif
Endroutine
Evtroutine Handling(#MITM_2.Click)
If (#MITM_2.checked = true)
Set Com(#TVCL_4) Visible(false)
Set Com(#MITM_2) Checked(false)
Else
Set Com(#TVCL_4) Visible(true)
Set Com(#TVCL_4) Displayposition(4)
Set Com(#MITM_2) Checked(true)
Endif
Endroutine
Evtroutine Handling(#MITM_3.Click)
If (#MITM_3.checked = true)
Set Com(#TVCL_5) Visible(false)
Set Com(#MITM_3) Checked(false)
Else
Set Com(#TVCL_5) Visible(true)
Set Com(#TVCL_5) Displayposition(5)
Set Com(#MITM_3) Checked(true)
Endif
Endroutine
Evtroutine Handling(#MITM_4.Click)
If (#MITM_4.checked = true)
Set Com(#TVCL_6) Visible(false)
Set Com(#MITM_4) Checked(false)
Else
Set Com(#TVCL_6) Visible(true)
Set Com(#TVCL_6) Displayposition(6)
Set Com(#MITM_4) Checked(true)
Endif
Endroutine

 

     Note: In the above code, when a column is made visible the DisplayPosition of that column is set back to its original value.

5.  Compile and test your form. Using the right mouse menu on the tree view you should now be able to show or hide columns.

6.   You have completed this exercise.
