Has anyone got some pointers to using the dbtreeview in Servoy?
The help seems to be deficient in this respect.
Are there old tutorials that I could access or is the 3.5.3 updates version changes too much?
I have looked at the sample tree control solution but it is not quite obvious as to what to put where etc.
Thanks in advance.
I have already examined all the Forum posts containing the dbtreeview word as a search item. None of these are helpful in a “tutorial” sense. For example what is the design approach to using a dbtreeview in Servoy? I see in the example treecontrol solution the use of many tabs - but I am not sure if they are required for dbtreeview or jsut as another way to present information.
THanks, but I will have to write my own guide I guess…
Hi Tom,
If you found anything that helped you, please let me know. I’ve been figuring this DBtreeview out the hard way myself, even though Paul Bakker has been very generous with his time in replying to my posts.
Sorry, I have not had time to investigate further. If there is no reasonably good tutorial or how-to available then I cannot afford the time to do it by trial and error. Usually I am able to use the Java tutorials from Sun if it based on a Sun bean but not in this case. I too lament the lack of how-to when the tool has such good potential. The other reason for me not wanting to pursue further is that I think it was stated that it does not work in a web client so that made me think of other presentation alternatives, albeit not as pretty for the use.

This limitation has been dropped since Servoy 3.5.x. In the latest Servoy 3.5 releases, the DBTreeView bean works in both the Smart Client as well as the WebClient.
As for documentation on the DBTreeView bean: As mentioned on other threads: the latest and most advanced DBTreeview and DBTreeTableView beans have been introduced in Servoy 3.5.x, so in a minor release. But these beans are still backwards compatible with the old version, so if you would code the old way, it will still work.
If you want to use all the latest features, you have to code using the new API of the bean. In the forementioned thread of the forum, you can find all the examples you will need.
With the release of Servoy 4.0, the servoy documentation will be updated, so also the documentation will include more details on the DBTree(Table)View beans.
Untill then, we’ll support you the best way we can through the forum.
Paul
