Chuck: Re. "Open form clicking column 1 seeing column 4 column 5 etc" — does that mean that the hList will add a row that reveals an empty row for columns 1 - 3 but shows the data from columns 4 and 5?
I just checked the docs for hier list boxes and a hier LB looks a lot like how it's done in ALP - each row in the list box displays the entry for that level in the hierarchy until you reach the last level. I suspect, seeing that there are (ahem) similarities between list boxes and ALP, that that's as good as it gets. If a hier listbox won't do what you want automagically, you should be able to create the UI that you want by controlling cell borders and cell text coloring. If you change the borders and text to match the background color, the row will appear to have no columns/cells and will appear to have no text (or you could clear the text). You'd also want to set the cells non-enterable. The "twiddles" in this interface <https://www.dropbox.com/s/4eglo6ju02h6zyh/Twiddle_UI.png?dl=0> are picture array and the indenting is accomplished simply by adding spaces. -- Douglas von Roeder 949-336-2902 On Thu, Sep 6, 2018 at 12:08 PM Charles Miller via 4D_Tech < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have for the most part figured out how to use this feature, but am not > sure I can do what I want > > I want the following look > > Line 1 of > list box has 3 columns > > When opened oit loks like this > Colmn 1 Column 2 Column3 > > I want to be able to create hierarchy that looks like this > Colmn 1 Column 2 Column3 > Open form clicking column 1 seeing column 4 column 5 etc > > Can this be done. > > Regards > > Chuck > -- > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chuck Miller Voice: (617) 739-0306 Fax: (617) 232-1064 > Informed Solutions, Inc. > Brookline, MA 02446 USA Registered 4D Developer > Providers of 4D, Sybase & SQL Server connectivity > http://www.informed-solutions.com > > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This message and any attached documents contain information which may be > confidential, subject to privilege or exempt from disclosure under > applicable law.
