Genie Name: treeview
Genie Library: sa_controls
System Project: SA_Include
The Tree View Genie (named "treeview") can be used to display a menu structure on a page. For example, you can use it to:
For an example of how to use the Tree View Genie, see Add a Tree View to a Page.
Complete the following properties for the Genie in the Genie Properties dialog box.
Basic Setup Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
Datasource |
Specifies the menu on which the tree is based. You can enter the name of a menu you have created using the Menu Configuration view in the Visualization activity (see Prepare the Navigation Menu). Alternatively, you can use the name of a menu that is created at runtime using the MenuGetPageNode Cicode function. You can also enter "__EquipmentModel" to use the equipment hierarchy defined for the current project. |
Use Display Names |
Determines if display names are used to label equipment in the tree view. A display name is a meaningful name that can be defined for piece of equipment using the Display Name property (see Manually Define Equipment). If the tree view is displaying the equipment model: TRUE = Equipment display names are used FALSE = Equipment names are used. If this is set to TRUE and no Display Name is configured, the equipment name will be used instead. If the tree view is displaying a generic menu structure: TRUE = Menu item comments are used FALSE = Menu item names are used. |
Search Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
Search Box Name |
This field specifies the name of the ciText.TextBox object that the tree view will use as its input for the search text at runtime. The name to enter is defined in the Text Object Properties dialog on the Access tab. By default, "Search" is used. |
Display Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
Treeview Height |
The height of the area the tree view will occupy (in pixels). If the length of the expanded tree extends beyond the height specified here, a vertical scroll bar will appear. |
Treeview Width |
The width of the area the tree view will occupy (in pixels). If the width of the expanded tree extends beyond the left edge of the alarm count list, a horizontal scroll bar will appear. |
Row Height |
The amount of space that will be available to each row within the tree view. |
Display Checkboxes |
Determines if a check box is displayed for each item in the tree. TRUE = Check boxes are displayed. FALSE = Check boxes are not displayed. |
Auto-check Children |
Determines if the check boxes within the lower levels of a branch are automatically checked when a parent item is checked. TRUE = Children are automatically checked. FALSE = Children are not automatically checked. |
Display Alarms |
Determines if alarm counts for the top three alarm categories are displayed for each item in the tree. If the branch is collapsed, the values will represent the number of active alarms for each category within the current branch and its lower levels. If a node is expanded, the count will only shows alarms for that node, as the counts for its children will now be visible on the child nodes. TRUE = Alarm counts for the top three alarm categories are displayed. FALSE = Alarm counts for the top three alarm categories are not displayed. |
Display Shelved |
Determines if an alarm count for shelved alarms is displayed for each item in the tree. If the branch is collapsed, the values will represent the number of shelved alarms for each category within the current branch and its lower levels. If a node is expanded, the count will only shows shelved alarms for that node, as the counts for its children will now be visible on the child nodes. TRUE = Alarm count for shelved alarms is displayed. FALSE = Alarm count for shelved alarms is not displayed. |
Event Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
On Init Complete Function |
Represents the name of the function that is invoked when the tree view completes initialization. OnInitCompleteFunction(INT nTreeviewAN) The argument nTreeviewAN is expected, it is the animation number of the tree view that fires the event. |
On Check Function |
Represents the name of the function that is invoked upon the checked event. OnCheckFunction(INT hMenuItem) The argument hMenuItem is expected. It is the handle to the menu item that is represented by the tree node on which the check box has just been clicked. |
On Left Click Function |
Represents the name of the function that is invoked upon the left click event. OnLeftClickFunction(INT hMenuItem) The argument hMenuItem is expected. It is the handle to the menu item that is represented by the tree node that has just been left-clicked. |
On Right Click Function |
Represents the name of the function that is invoked upon the right click event. OnRightClickFunction(INT hMenuItem) The argument hMenuItem is expected. It is the handle to the menu item that is represented by the tree node that has just been right-clicked. |
Customization Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
View Genie |
Refers to the Genie that is called to display each item in the tree. By default, the Tree View Item Genie in the "sa_controls" library is used (sa_controls.treeviewitem). |
View Init Function |
The Cicode function that is called to initialize the View Genie (see above) for each row. By default, a system function called "_Treeview_InitViewGenie_<resolution>" is used (for example, "_Treeview_InitViewGenie_HD1080"). |
Fill Function |
This function is called on each page scan to manage data updates in the tree view when the tree view state changes (for example, when scrolling, expanding, or collapsing occurs). By default, a system function called "_Treeview_Update" is used. |
View Model Data Size |
Specifies the number of custom fields per tree view item to be allocated for user data. The data in these fields will be updated by the function specified in the parameter Datasource Item Retrieve Function (see below). This parameter is set to zero (0) by default. |
View Model Init Function |
Custom function to configure the additional columns specified by the parameter 'View Model Data Size'. This function is called once when the tree view is initialized. |
Datasource Item Retrieve Function |
A custom function that loads additional user data for the tree view. This function is called whenever the tree view data is refreshed (for example, when scrolling, expanding, or collapsing occurs). The number of custom fields to be updated by this function is defined by the parameter View Model Data Size (see above). |
Is Source Ready Function |
Enter the name a function that is used to determine if the data source is ready. The tree view initialization code will run the function (in addition to the checks for navigation initialized and workspace system initialized) before allowing the tree view to be displayed. If this function does not return TRUE within five seconds of displaying the page, the tree view initialization will time out. This function needs to return an INT (TRUE or FALSE) and takes a single argument, INT nTreeviewAN. |
Datasource Watcher Function |
Enter a Cicode function that will be used to monitor the tree view's associated data source for any updates. The function will be called when the Tree View Genie is initialized, and needs to be responsible for triggering a reload if required. The function will run continuously, so it should not return any values. It also needs to accept the arguments sDatasource and hTreeviewAN. If you are using the Tree View Genie to display the entire equipment model (for example, if the Datasource parameter is set to "__EquipmentModel"), you can enter the following function name to trigger a reload of the tree whenever the equipment model changes: _Treeview_MonitorEquipmentModel |
Can Check Items Function |
A custom function that is used to determine if tree view item checking is allowed. By default, toggling the checked state of a tree view item is allowed at runtime. This function provides a way to disable the check boxes on all items if required. For example, you may want to disable checking if the data that the tree view will interact with is not ready, or if the current user does not have sufficient privileges. The function needs to return a value of TRUE or FALSE. |
AN Parameter

AN |
A unique ID for the Genie object. |
