Hello all.
Could anybody, please, help me in following:
I have multi source tree control with 4 levels. And I have to show in separate dropdown list box what level is selected. Is it possible to know what layer has checked the check boxes?

Thank you.

Hello,
I have to know checkboxes of which level are selected. I have to check level4 first, if there are no selected checkboxes, I have to check level3, then level 2.
Thanks.

Hi Oly,
We do not have an API function that does this. Could you tell us what is the benefit to you in doing this or why you would like the layer selected to be shown in a separate control? We may be able to provide you with another solution or workaround.
Thanks,

Hello Lisa,
It's not good newsFrowner For my reports I have to have separate dropdown control, which should have list of levels and in case of some level is selected this control should display the level's name or name of next level(it depends on report) as selected and contains all other levels below selected in tree control.
For example: tree control has 5 levels: countrys, regions, cities, streets, house numbers. In case of some street is selected my separate dropdown list control should contains 'Streets' and 'House numbers' in list and 'Streets' should be selected.

Thanks.

Hi Oly,
In order to prioritize this issue, we need to understand exactly why you would like to populate a control with the name of a selected layer.
Is it for further development of your HTML page? If so, please give us details on how you continue to use that control on your page. Or, is it simply so that the layer name could be exposed?
Also, when we understand how you are using this control that shows the layer name, we may be able to provide you with an alternate solution.

Thanks,

Hi Lisa,
yes, depend on report and requirements of customers the value could be used for further development of this HTML page, for example, to check something in case of determinate value of dropdown control is selected. And of course, I send the value of this control into the fex and use it for different business logic.
Thanks.

Thank you Oly.
As of now, we do not have a workaround where the selected level (level1, level2) on a tree can be exposed. Please open a case with Customer Support and provide details of your scenario.
Best Regards,

Hello Lisa.
my tree control passes the data into secveral parameters(from each layer) for fex. Is it possible to catch the info for them and use these values in javascript functions?
Thanks.

Hello Oly,
Yes, it is possible to use the values in javascript functions.
Please note, a case must be opened if you would like new API functions to be available.

Also, we await a case for exposing selected levels on the tree control (your previous request), if one has not already been opened.

Thanks,
Lisa

I use a single source tree control that has multi-select with up to 6 levels. I get the values of everything selected and pass them into a listbox to display.


 //Begin function addbase_onclick
function addbase_onclick(ctrl) {
var baseprod = IbComposer_getCurrentSelection('base_tree_control');

   var ins = baseprod;
  for (var i=0; i<ins.length; i++) 
  {        
      var doup = 'false'; 
     //alert (baseprod[i]);
     var inss = productlist;
     //alert(inss.length + "len");
     for (var j=0; j<inss.length; j++)
     { 
       
        if (inss.options([j]).value == baseprod[i]) 
        { 
           doup = 'true';
        } 
     }
     if (doup != 'true') document.getElementById('productlist').add(new Option(baseprod[i],baseprod[i]));
     
    
  }

.add(new Option(baseprod[i],baseprod[i]));


Rather than making the "value" a clone of the "description", you can prepend a level indicator to the "value" (and have the fex strip it out). Will that help?
