Thanks.
Got a bit confused by the text in the Reference Manual.
My idea is to "read" or retrieve the whole information from the tree
structure itself. That is the full set of text (labels) for the entries of
the tree. My sub was just set up, to at least get in touch with the
treeview.
Am I on the right track, when asuming that I will have to retrieve a
TreeviewItem from each entry in the TreeViewItems list, and then go from
there? And will I have to "manually" let the app expand every branch of the
treeview, or is there a more direct way of getting to the individual labels?
Hope my questions make sense. So, I am not trying to construct a treeview,
but to retrieve information from an already existing treeview, for further
handling.
Thanks again,

Subject: Re: TreeView - please help
David,
Are you wanting to obtain all tree view items? If so, try this:
Sub TheTreeview()
Dim Win: Set Win = FocusedWindow
If Win.Type <>WtTreeView Then Exit Sub
' Apparently we are in a TreeView:
Speak Win.Type
Speak "You are now in a treeview."
Dim TView: Set TView = Win.Control ' Note that this gives you the treeview
control directly. You do not need to explicitly request a tree view.
' TreeViewItems was never defined, so I assume you meant to get the number
of items in the tree's top level. In that case:
speak TView.TopLevel.Count
End Sub 'TheTreeview.
Regards,
Steve

I can place my cursor on anything else but a treview, and the sub will
simply exit. So far, things are alright.
When I put my cursor on a treview, and run this sub, it sure speaks two
lines of info:
22
You are now in a treeview.
Just what I expected it to.
But then it throws an error on me:
Object doesn't support this property or method: 'Ctrl.TreeView'
A bit confused. Likely I am missing something, but can't figure exactly
what. In the documentation of WE, it states under TreeView:
Usage
Use a
TreeView
object to retrieve information regarding a tree view control. A
TreeView
object can be obtained from a
Window
object's
Control
method when the
Window
object's
Type
is
wtTreeView
In my sub, I set an object (Win) from the FocusedWindow. Then another
object (Ctrl) from that Window object's Control. Isn't that what the
documentation claims to be the way to go? And from here, I should have
been able to retrieve the TreeView object. What am I missing?
Thanks for any guidance.
