I try to use a TREEVIEW to switch between different dialogs, like done in the cinema project settings.
I generated my dialog by using ResEdit 1.7, placing a TREEVIEW and a SubDialog in it. The subdialog is working fine, but I have no Idea how to initialize the TREEVIEW with some entries. I did unterstand the usage of the LISTVIEW ressource, but how can I handle the TREEVIEW? In LISTVIEW I attach a SimpleListView Object to the LISTVIEW ressource by AttachListView, followed by setting a layout and adding entries with SetLayout and SetItem. How is that done with TREEVIEW? I found the classes TreeViewCustomGui and TreeViewFunctions, but neither one of them contains a functions like AttachListView - or AttachTreeView in my case ;)
Anyone got an idea or has done that before?

I made for my TagManager plugin a custom linked-list for the TreeViewClass. Take a look a the SDK-example "ActiveObject.cpp" here the TreeView uses the Base2D-List.

But maybe Mikael knows an easier method ...

Hint I got from Mikael:
"Instead of AttachListView(), use GeDialog::AddCustomGui() to get a pointer to the TreeViewCustomGui for your TREEVIEW control. Then see TreeViewCustomGui::SetRoot() and TreeViewFunction."
Well...used FindCustomGui() to get a pointer, because I declared the Treeview in my dialog ressource file....dont know if I really understand the function, but a call like FindCustomGui( IDC_TREEVIEW_TARGETSETTINGS, PLUGIN_ID ) at least returns a valid pointer :) Well....and now? Ok...C4D help says SetRoot "Initializes the tree"....sounds like the very next step to do. But I dont understand the TreeViewFunctions* SetRoot expects....naja ok, the ActiveObjects.cpp shows what you can do with it....overwrite all the functions in it...DO I REALLY HAVE TO DO THIS??? I just want to build a little tree with some entries, only strings, and switch my subdialogs according to the selection in the tree.....initializing TREEVIEW with some strings really sounds like 10 lines of code, do I really need to overwrite all the TreeViewFunctions??? Initializing a LISTVIEW at least is 10 lines of code, define a layout, insert items, et voila....finished.  Anyone knows an easy solution for that problem???

well.....and in addition...."void* userdata U ser data.".....aaaahja....what??? Somehow I get the impression, that the SDK-Help is only intended to be used by SDK-experts....or am I just too stupid to understand it????

Ok.....after some cups of ceylon mix and some closer looks.....really seems that there is no other way than to write my own TreeViewFunctions.....alot of work for just a little tree, but however, at least it'll be some highly reuseable part of code....
