Select parent, all childern checked

[ericahlstrom]

I am using the Tree object and I am trying to make it so that if you select the check box of the parent node that all the children within that node would be checked.

Of course if you unchecked the parent all the check box's would be unchecked as well.

Any help would be appreciated.

It is really simple, im going to give you the main idea. Put in your project a NEW tree object with DEFAULT objects:

Item 1
Sub Item 1
Sub Item 2

then open it's script editor, and put this code "ON CHECK" event:

tblProp = {};
if (e_NodeIndex == "1" and e_Checked == true) then
	tblProp.Checked = true;
	Tree.SetNode("Tree1", "1.1", tblProp);
	Tree.SetNode("Tree1", "1.2", tblProp);
elseif (e_NodeIndex == "1" and e_Checked == false) then
	tblProp.Checked = false;
	Tree.SetNode("Tree1", "1.1", tblProp);
	Tree.SetNode("Tree1", "1.2", tblProp);
end

hope this helps.

Thanks, this helps. I have been away from AMS for some months and am trying to get myself back up to speed.

My code

By the way, this is the code I am using and works great. I have two parent nodes with an unknown number of children.



tblProp = {};

-- Get the child count of 'Tree1'
ChildCount = Tree.GetChildCount("search", "1");

-- Get the child count of 'Tree2'
ChildCount2 = Tree.GetChildCount("search", "2");

-- Check if main index checked
if (e_NodeIndex == "1") and (e_Checked == true) then
for count = 1, ChildCount, 1 do
tblProp.Checked = true;
Tree.SetNode("search", "1."..count, tblProp);
end

-- Check if main index not checked
elseif (e_NodeIndex == "1") and (e_Checked == false) then
for count = 1, ChildCount, 1 do
tblProp.Checked = false;
Tree.SetNode("search", "1."..count, tblProp);
end
end


-- Check if second index checked
if (e_NodeIndex == "2") and (e_Checked == true) then
for count = 1, ChildCount2, 1 do
tblProp.Checked = true;
Tree.SetNode("search", "2."..count, tblProp);
end

-- Check if second index not checked
elseif (e_NodeIndex == "2") and (e_Checked == false) then
for count = 1, ChildCount2, 1 do
tblProp.Checked = false;
Tree.SetNode("search", "2."..count, tblProp);
end
end

yeah, thats probably the best solution, i was too lazy to write it all, anyway i'm glad you resolved your problem anyway
