The Color_TV (it's not a television)

The treeview can be used in many situations, it is fast, robust and easy to use. However, there is always room for improvements. A fellow programmer in the German dbase newsgroup had the need for colored tree-items (the bold property to highlight certain items wasn't enough for him ) Indeed a very interesting idea ! Out came this class...

It is a subclass of the Tree-View and a subclass of the Tree-Item controls and makes it very easy to change the color of an item on the fly (or in the constructor). As with the wheelgrid-class, I tried to write the code in a way, that almost no change in the source code is necessary. Change treeview( ) to ctreeview( ) here and change treeitem( ) to ctreeitem( ) there, that's all. If you want the items colored, just add one line of code :

form.tv1.treeitem1.setcolor(0xFF00FF)  

or do it in the (overloaded) constructor: there are two possibilities

form.tv1.t1 = new ctreeitem(form.tv1 , c_name , n_color)  or

form.tv1.t1 = new ctreeitem(form.tv1 , n_color)

These are custom classes written in dBL-Code and provided as  .co-files (for free). If you find the class useful, please consider buying the source code for 40,- Euro.
