How does one get the "Key" value from a tree node? Although Key, a String value, is passed in when adding the node, Key does not appear in the node property list.

Yes, I was hoping to avoid caching nodes and keys in a table.

I was hoping to click on a node (which is displaying a Name), retrieve the Key value, retrieve a record set from an SQLite DB based on the Key value. The Key value that is set for each node is a unique ID from the database.

Thanks for your attention, it is much appreciated.

Until such time as the framework can be updated, I used java#util#hashmap to store the node and key.

I noticed that the framework jars of late on the framework page are significantly smaller than previous versions. Are they complete?

I downloaded the source form svn and modified Nodes.jsrc and Node.jsrc adding a property get for Key. I also added a Tag property of type Variant.

So now, one can get the Key value with but there is not a property Let because the Key value is
used with a "Collection" as part of the original code in Nodes.jsrc.




The node Tag property can use both Let or Get and works similar to VB6 where the tag property has to be explicitly set.


It was a chore to compile the framework. The build.xml file needed to be modified to fix the paths. Then, the Jabaco VB framework build failed because its dependent on the VBA class files just compiled. The build.xml file had to modified again by commenting out the following line under target "build". When the ant script finishes, it erases the java class files. So commenting the line prevents that for the next step. The VB folder from the original Jabaco.jar was extracted to the bin-tmp folder and a new jar was created (from the command line) which was copied to the Jabaco IDE dir. Build.bat was run again, the Jabaco VB source files compiled and the Jabaco.jar file was created in the bin dir.

I can post the code of the modified files if someone wishes.

You can find out by renaming the *.jar to *.zip.
Then you can use Windows Explorer or any archiving tool to inspect the file contents.

For those interested, IZarc will open the jar files without having to change the extension.
