Specifying tree control interaction properties
The following properties specify interactions in the tree control.
*actionCommand
Use the actionCommand property to assign a command to the tree. You can configure the tree to open a drill-down display, set substitutions, or execute a command in response to a user click on a tree node.
The actionCommand property can reference the value from the tree by using the keyword $value. When the command is executed, the variable attached to the varToSet property is updated with the selected node data.
The drillDownColumnSubs property can be configured to set substitutions to column values from the row in the valueTable that corresponds to the selected tree node.
If the execOnLeafOnlyFlag property is checked, the tree actionCommand property executes only when a leaf node is clicked (a click on a non-leaf node expands only the node). If unchecked, the tree actionCommand property executes on all nodes, not just the leaf.
*commandCloseWindowOnSuccess
If selected, the window that initiates a system command will automatically close when the system command is executed successfully. This property only applies to system commands.
With data source commands, the window is closed whether or not the command is executed successfully.
For multiple commands, this property is applied to each command individually. Therefore, if the first command in the multiple command sequence succeeds, the window will close before the rest of the commands are executed.
The commandCloseWindowOnSuccess property is not supported in the Display Server.
*commandConfirm
If selected, the command confirmation dialog is enabled. Use the commandConfirmText property to write your own text for the confirmation dialog, otherwise text from the command property will be used.
For multiple commands, if you confirm the execution then all individual commands will be executed in sequence with no further confirmation. If the you cancel the execution, none of the commands in the sequence will be executed.
*commandConfirmText
Enter command confirmation text directly in the Property Value field or select the button to open the Edit commandConfirmText dialog. If commandConfirmText is not specified, then text from the command property will be used.
*drillDownColumnSubs
Use the drillDownColumnSubs property to set substitutions to column values from the row in the valueTable that corresponds to the selected tree node.
Select the button to open the Drill Down Column Substitutions dialog to customize which substitutions are passed into drill-down displays.
*enabledFlag
If unchecked, the tree nodes are the color gray and do not respond to user input.
*execOnLeafOnlyFlag
If checked, the tree actionCommand is executed only for leaf nodes, and a click on a non-leaf node only expands the node. Also, the mouseover tooltip only appears for leaf nodes.
If unchecked, the tree actionCommand property executes on all nodes, and the mouseover tooltip appears for all nodes.
*mouseOverFlag
Specifies whether a tooltip appears when the cursor is positioned over a node. The tooltip shows the node path (the node label preceded by the labels of all of its ancestors), the node status (if the nodeStatusColumnName property is specified), and its value (if the valueColumnName property is specified).
*tabIndex
Use the tabIndex property to define the order in which the tree receives focus when navigated from your keyboard. Initial focus is given to the object with the smallest tabIndex value, from there the tabbing order proceeds in ascending order. If multiple objects share the same tabIndex value, initial focus and tabbing order are determined by the alpha-numeric order of the table names. Tables with a tabIndex value of 0 are last in the tabbing order.
The tabIndex property does not apply to tables in the Display Server, nor to objects that are disabled, invisible, or have a value of less than 0.
