How good you can control/coordinate treeview with keyboard would be my main

Well that demo app, RIO, the one that I am getting beat up over allows the user to select a "member" from the tree.

But - in the "add" mode, should the user enter an "existing" member id, the node will expand and select the member whe the user tabs out of the "bugus id" field.

The tree has to fire regardless of the input - mouse click or an id entered in a text box.

On subtle behavior in XP is an example. Open exploer - then open a CMD window and copy a file (DOS COPY) to the folder exporer is opened too. You will see the file immediately show up (without refresh) in the exporer folder menu.

Most of the OCX have node clicks - some of my projects will open "interlinked" tress or listviews - when a change is made to one it has to fire to the other "open" controls.

My solution as been to use the NodeClick of one OCX as the node click for them all - IOW - all node events, from any open OCX - are fired through a master node click. Thats taking object reuse to an extreme - but it is seemless and quick. That RIO project has a Hot Navigator. Those projects of mine that offer several list representations enjoy the speedy crispness of the Hot Navaigation (the lists are rescoped and highlights are set) in a blink because all the events are routed through the "master" OCX nodeclick. RIO was simple - the really bad boy stuff will impress anyone that has a negative view of VFP.

VFP data / grid as well. Will send you screenshots if u r interested.
Send me some!

I am sure that a lot of our so-called HLS funds have been wasted this way - top secret project - some cronie gives a bunch of bucks to this or that o that "supporter". 100s of Millions are spent - but because the project is top-secret - the taxpayer never sees the workproduct - and if it fails or was fraudulent - we never know either because of National Security. I am sure so much IT fraud has occurred since the "Patriot" act that the dollars wasted to fraud (and extorted from US taxpayers) is in the several hundreds of billions of dollars. Just one year of US defense investment could have invented "free-energy" and bring every being on earth out of poverty. Fear is a great tool for fraud and extortion. Look at MSNBC - both GE and MS are weapons system vendors and the control most of our news outlets - they are a war friendly bunch - they exagerate the fears that put them in front of the US treasury pursor's window and minimize or hide criminal acts that assure a never ending war.

Cheers & Have Great Year 2006 :))
