Hierarchy and select children from parent

[#1]

Hello all,

I am using QV9SR4.

I have created a hierarchy of my data to show as a tree in a listbox. However, when I select a parent it only selects itself, not its children. Am I missing something - sample document attached.

Is this what HierarchyBelongsTo does? I'm afraid I find the help not very so - I wont embarrass myself and tell you how long it took me to work out how to use 'hierarchy'!

Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Gordon

Hi.

If I understood correctly, you should have closed and select the node to be selected children as well.

Thanks for the reply - I was afraid that was how it was supposed to work.

Yuk. I dont like that.

I think using a standard multibox is better functionally even if it doesnt show the structure quite so well.

PS Do you know what HierarchyBelongsTo does? The manual is useless in this area - the examples are just an extended version of the syntax.

Hi,

HierarchyBelongsTo might allow you to alter slightly the behaviour you don't like on the tree view when it's expanded - e.g. create an Ancestor Name whose selection picks up everything below it in the hierachy, then put an action on the PathName to select the relevant ancestor name if a single top level Name is selected - everything below it in the path then becomes a 'possible' selection - see attached example.

You could maybe add a macro to select those possible values if necessary,
