Hi Tim, Thanks, doesn't sound negative (unless you are actually saying not to use the extra - it gives you more headache than joy). I just sent off some questions to them now, let's see how fast they are coming back - got a dealine tomorrow night and loads to do before that ;)
Thx, Nik >Hi Nik, > >I have used the cXtra Treeview on several occasions in the last year, I >have quite a few of their xtras. Unfortunately I have not used the >other tree xtra mentioned, so I cannot make a decent comparison but just >a few points: > >1. It is quite powerful, and has a lot of functionality. >2. I really like being able to change the images for any of the nodes or >folders in the tree (you can even build in your own roll over and >selected node images). >3. The developers are French, and therefore, it can be tricky sometimes >debugging (error messages at run time tend to be in French - although >error messages are rare). >4. I use drag and drop quite a bit within the tree, but I haven't >dragged outside the tree widget. >5. Just like mentioned by the others about the other xtra, it doesn't >strictly follow the Lingo code format. >6. It can be quirky, and takes a bit of getting used to, just like the >other xtra. >7. Using the support forum, help is usually quick and on target, and >they often add user requested functionality improvements or amendments >at reasonably short notice. >8. Although the user docs are in English, the developers native language >is French, bear this in mind when writing code for functions, as just >occasionally their translations seem to miss out useful tips. > >Overall, the above sounds quite negative, but its not meant to, I really >like the xtras and what they can do, I use them a lot, the above list is >just small things to look out for really. And check the support forums >out for useful tips that seem to crop up in support requests from other >users. > >Hope this helps in some way. > >Tim ___________________________________________________ Have your own email and web address for life. http://www.homemaster.net - Homemaster.
