Multi-row selection and tree-views
Multi-row selection can be used with a DISPLAY ARRAY
controlling a
TREE
container.
Due to the tree-view ergonomic differences with simple tables, the selection of tree nodes follows some specific rules, compared to multiple-row selection in simple tables:
- When selecting a range of nodes, only visible nodes will get the
selection flag. For example, if you select all nodes with Ctrl-A,
and if the root node is collapsed, only the root node will be
selected. This applies also when selecting nodes by program with the
DIALOG.setSelectionRange()
. - When the
DISPLAY ARRAY
controlling the tree-view implements dynamic filling, collapsing a parent node will de-select all child nodes, as these are removed from the data model.
