O$ Node Full Path

[Barnett, David]

Re: "i like when the user clicks on a node to have the full
path from the node selected back to the root node."

panikos:

A simple loop will help build up the 'path'. In the $event method of your tree, put:

On evClick
  Do method getNodeFullName ($cobj.$currentnode()) Returns #S3
  OK message  {Fullpath=[#S3]}


Add a method to the tree object called getNodeFullName, with with 1 param, pNodeRef (itemref), and 1 local var, lFullName (char(10000)) long enough to hold the full path text. In that method put: 

If pNodeRef.$level>1
  Do method getNodeFullName (pNodeRef.$nodeparent) Returns lFullName
  Quit method con(lFullName,'/',pNodeRef().$name)
Else
  Quit method pNodeRef.$name()
End If

Note that the method is called recursively passing the parent node each time until you reach the top level node. It builds up the path with the name from each level of the tree. Adapt as you wish.
