Re: Tree Widget: hilitedValue?
If pPath[1] = “a” and pPath[2] = “b” Then pArray[pPath] is the same as saying pArray[“a”][“b”] I’m not sure when it was added. It is relatively recent (7 or 8 I think, but not sure) Thanks, Brian Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 10, 2022, at 4:46 PM, J.

Re: Tree Widget: hilitedValue?
I don't think there is an existing one liner, but it can be done a couple ways. Here is a recursive function defined in the PI code for Custom Props: on fetchArrayDataOnPath pPath, pArray, @rData local tKey put item 1 of pPath into tKey if the number of items in pPath is 1 then if tKey is not among the keys of pArray then return "no such key" else put pArray[tKey] into rData return empty end if else delete item 1 of pPath fetchArrayDataOnPath pPath, pArray[tKey], rData end if end fetchArrayDataOnPath There are other handlers in that script that could be useful as well (add/set/delete). You could also turn the path into an array (but lose the error checking above): function getValue pArray, pPath split pPath by comma return pArray[pPath] end getValue Thanks, Brian On Sat, Jul 9, 2022 at 5:08 PM J.

I misunderstood, you don't mean just the names of the elements. The value shows up as part of the tree unless you turn off "show values". I think you'll have to parse the array to actually get the values in a leaf. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
