Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress Dynamics Basic Development


Running the TreeView window

You can run the TreeView window as you would any other dynamic window in your application. You could, for example, invoke it from a menu item.

To test your window out of the context of your application:

  1. From the AppBuilder, select Compile Dynamic Launcher, as shown:
  2. Run the Department TreeView window. It comes up empty.
  3. Enter a value in the filter viewer. It populates itself. For example, if you select Department #100, you will see a single node representing that record.
  4. Expand that node by selecting the plus sign or double-clicking on the folder icon.
  5. Expand the Employees node to show a list of all employees for that department.
  6. Expand an employee’s node to show Family Members for the employee, as shown:
  7. At each level the pane to the right shows the maintenance window for the data at that level. Remember that you can reapportion the space between the TreeView on the left and the maintenance pane on the right by positioning the cursor between the two until it shows a left-right cursor, and then dragging the dividing line between the two parts of the window.
