Moves an element (leaf or node) in a TreeView control. All branches issued from this element are also moved.
Example of TreeView control:
Vocabulary linked to a TreeView control
Example
// Move the "Pineapple" leaf into the "Starters" node
// in the "TREE_TVRecipe" control
Res = TREE_TVRecipe.MoveItem(...
"Recipes" + TAB + "Desserts" + TAB + "Fruit salad", ...
"Recipes" + TAB + "Starters", tvFirst)
Syntax
<Result> = <TreeView control>.MoveItem(<Source element> , <Destination element> [, <Sort mode>])
<Result>: Boolean
  • True if the element was moved,
  • False otherwise.
<TreeView control>: Control name
Name of the TreeView control to be used.
<Source element>: Character string
Path of element (leaf or node) to move. This element and all the branches issued from this element will be moved. This parameter has the following format:
"<Root name>" + TAB + ["<Name of 1st node>" + TAB + ...
["<Name of 2nd node>" + TAB + [...]]]"<Leaf name>"
In case of duplicates on a path element, this path can contain the element identifier (specified at the end of its name by TreeID).
<Destination element>: Character string
Path of element (leaf or node) corresponding to the new "parent" node of the moved element. This element must exist. This parameter:
  • has the following format:
    "<Root name>" + TAB + ["<Name of 1st node>" + TAB + ...
    ["<Name of 2nd node>" + TAB + [...]]]"<Leaf name>"
    In case of duplicates on a path element, this path can contain the element identifier (specified at the end of its name by TreeID).
  • corresponds to the NULL constant if the "parent" node is the root of the TreeView control.
<Sort mode>: Optional constant (or combination of constants)
Position of the moved element in relation to the "child" elements of the destination node.
tvAcceptDuplicateThe duplicates are accepted (two elements on the same level can have the same name). The moved element is inserted in alphabetical order, among the elements of the same level.
tvAlphaSort
(Default value)
The moved element is sorted in alphabetical order, among the elements of the same level.
tvFirstThe element is moved to the first position of the level.
tvLastThe element is moved to the last position of the level.
Remarks

Moving an element onto itself

An element cannot be moved onto itself or onto one of its children. In this case, <TreeView>.MoveItem returns False and the element is not moved.

Duplicates

Two cases may occur if the <Destination element> already contains a child with the same name as the <Source element>:
  • If the duplicates are accepted (tvAcceptDuplicate constant), the move is performed as usual. <TreeView>.MoveItem returns True.
  • If duplicates are not accepted, <TreeView>.MoveItem returns False. The element is not moved.
If the <Source element> contains duplicates with identifiers, these duplicates are moved and keep the same identifier.

Priority order for the sort

The priority order of parameters for the add mode is as follows:
  • tvFirst
  • tvLast
  • tvAlphaSort
For example, in tvFirst + tvLast + tvAlphaSort, only the tvFirst constant is taken into account and run.
Component: wd290obj.dll
Minimum version required
  • Version 23
