Piortr,
You might be conflating a hierarchical list with a listbox.
The way you've described the listbox (if I understand it correctly) the
arrays in the listbox will be:
col 1 | col 2 | col 3
parent | child | data
===============
p1 | c1 | data1
p1 | c1 | data2
p1 | c1 | data3
p1 | c1 | data4
p1 | c1 | data5
p1 | c1 | data6
p2 | c1 | data7
p3 | c1 | data8
p3 | c2 | data9
which corresponds to a hierarchical list of:
p1 -
c1 -
data1
data2
data3
data4
data5
data6
p2 -
c1 -
data7
p3 -
c1 -
data8
c2 -
data9
You have to flatten the hierarchical data so that the parent, child and
data arrays are all the same size.
Making a listbox hierarchical doesn't change the nature of the data it
represents, it just changes the way the data are displayed. So you can
always use Listbox cell position to know what row is selected.
Did I answer the question you asked?
