Hey everyone

I'm making an app where I would like to use something that looks like a treeview - there's a button that lets users add new entries, and subcategories to it. Basically what the Treeview widget does, but the only issue is that the Treeview widget (as far as I can tell) doesn't let you edit the names of individual entries (though, I could be wrong). I'm not sure how to use the Treeview widget properly (if there's a tutorial or a way to do everything I want to do, please let me know

), so I decided to try make my own using buttons and arrays. The idea is that I want it to have a button that users can press to add new entries (easy). I even have it at the bottom of all the other buttons, and keeps moving as more buttons are added. But, the issue is if people want to add a subcategory, I don't know how to make it so that I don't know how to make it so that everything updates accordingly in terms of positions of the other buttons and all that. Also, since I'm storing all the data in arrays in terms of which levels have categories and subcategories etc, how would I go about deleting it properly?

Many thanks in advanced, and I hope I explained myself well enough

Try this code:

Code: Select all

put "myHouse" into mydata[1]
   put "Window" into mydata[1][1]
   put "door" into mydata[1][2]
   put "Mario house" into mydata[2]
   put "Window" into mydata[2][1]
   put "door" into mydata[2][2]
   set the ArrayData of widget "Tree View" to myData

You can use also words instead of numbers

Code: Select all

put "xxx" into mydata["myHouse"]["myWindow"]
