Email Client

[Harjo]

Does this look nice?

[Westy]

Very very nice!

Please tell us more.

[Harjo]

It's just a emailclient completely build in Servoy. And guess what: it works too!

The three main-components are:

* the mail-plugin
* the JsplitPanel bean
* and the dbtreeview bean.

and a lot of trying-erroring-editing-and retrying!

Looks very cool, Harjo!

Anyone knows how to set the node images ?
And can you set different images for each node?

Also it seems that the dbtree bean only works with Servoy 2.1.1.

Yes, that is what I want to know too!
Jan B? can you help us out?

Nice looking app! , the node image can be set by binding the imagedataprovider, like:
treeview.bindNodeImageMediaDataProvider('icon_column');// icon_column is of type media (database blob)
or
treeview.bindNodeImageURLDataProvider('icon_column');// icon_column is of type urls ,like http://www.cnn.com/images/xxxx.gif

Note the image is at best when 16x16 px.

This is very cool.
But I have something weird going on.
I have 5 nodes each with a custom icon (from a related table).

When I initialise the tree I see that my icons are shifted 1 position.
So its icon 5,1,2,3,4.

Then when I expand/collapse a row the first row takes the icon of that row (the correct icon for that row I might add).

Sounds like a bug.

I tried to get the icons from teh Media library, by adding this to the refreshTreeView method:

Code: Select all

elements.dbtreeview.bindNodeImageURLDataProvider('media:///printer.gif');


but the Icons on the tree are now changed... Where am I going wrong?

bindNodeImageURLDataProvider() needs a columnname of your table that you are using for your tree.
This can be a related field as well.
The URL needs to be in that field.

From what description Jan gave us, it looks to me that it has to be a URL and not a column. The other method seems to has to be used when you want tyo take the Icon from a column in a table.

As in other places (for example in HTML area's) the 'media:///printer.gif' get's the image from the media library, whereas if you would do the example Jan gave us (http://www.cnn.com/images/xxxx.gif ) would get an Image from a website.

So, I think the question still stand why it doesn't work. Am I attaching the code in the right method?

YOu are passing a media url, that NOT correct, you have to pass a column dataprovider name!

[ROCLASI]

Hmm...2 posts..not sure what happend. Sorry about that.

Jan, any idea on the shifted icon issue?
Also is it possible to expand/collapse certain nodes through code?
If not consider this a feature request.

[pbakker]

OK, I've stored the URL in a column and it works now, tnx for the explanation.

I did it by adding a column to the book_nodes table, called "url".

Then I put in some of the url fileds the following test: "media:\\\printer.gif",
expecting to get the printer icon on the records where I added the text to the url column, when i also added the following code to the refreshTreeView method:

Code: Select all

elements.dbtreeview.bindNodeImageURLDataProvider('url');


At first I thought it worked fine, but when opening, closing nodes on the tree, I saw the Icons shifting place.

I guess this is somewhat related to what Roclasi sees.

Can we prevent this, or can the logic be altered so the set icons stick?
