Can anyone try this in 8.1.05? I have a Single Source Tree Control and just a button with an Onclick event. Just add some static values in the tree control. I am trying to get the values of the selected values of the tree control.

I am not able to get the value using either of these.

 

   //var values = IbComposer_getCurrentSelection('treecontrol1');
var x = document.getElementById("treecontrol1").value;
alert (x);


These work fine in my old 8.00.8 DS version, but I am re-creating the page in App Studio. The page created in 8.00.08 runs fine in version 8.1.05, I just can't open it in App Studio 8.1.05, hence to why I am re-creating it.

Please and Thanks

The "value" property is not there in 8.1.05. The "treecontrol1" is a DIV element, and underneath it are HTML "input" tags of type "radio". Find these elements and you can test the "checked" property in each one. If "checked" is true, then you can read the "value" property that is there as well.

You probably should be using the so-called API calls - 
IbComposer_getCurrentSelection('controlID')
where controlID is the unique identifier of the control from which values are obtained.

This is valid for v8.0.08 and should be good for v8.1.05...

If there's an API call that would be much easier. Thanks, Francis!

Yes I try and use the API calls if all possibly.


Squatch - I do see the "input" tags underneath. I am dynamically populating the control, but I am not clear if I need to get them all?

You would need to go through them all and look for the ones where the "checked" property is true.

IbComposer_getCurrentSelection('controlID')
should return all the selected values.

The IbComposer_getCurrentSelection function gets the current selected values from a control.

That is they way it worked in prior versions. Now it appears to not work that way anymore.

Yuck! I would prefer not to have to go this route. If my values are dynamically populated, I would think that these inputs could change, if my data changes.

It's actually not that bad. You can use JavaScript's "getElementsByTagName" and loop through all the dynamically generated values, or use JQuery (which is even easier).

I could not get Francis' suggestion to work in my test page.
