Using the TreeView OCX in Progress Version 9.1B

[waynesingh]

Hi all,

I am using the Microsoft TreeView Control v6.0 in a Progress window. I am passing back information to .p's from my .w. I have been using a index field, which is a combination of other fields within that record as the unique identifier. Was all running along fine until I hit a record that had more than 8 chars in the index field. Is there any way to get more then 8 chars back. Was going to use either recid or rowid, but recid is larger than 8 chars and so will rowid once it is in a live situation. If anyone can think of another way around this then please let me know.

I am using a Dynamic Query to find the records that I want to browse on and am using the code below to create the Nodes:
hField = hBuffer:BUFFER-FIELD(fieldname).
hKeyFld = hBuffer:BUFFER-FIELD("KeyFields&quot.

ASSIGN vKey = Tablename + "," + string(hKeyFld:STRING-VALUE). /*hKeyFld:STRING-VALUE().*/
chTreeView1:nodes:ADD(chMenuRoot:INDEX,4,vKey,hField:STRING-VALUE(),3,3) .

And using this code to send to the .p's:

hField = hBuffer:BUFFER-FIELD("KeyFields&quot.

RUN RefreshPanel IN hPanelSect (INPUT hField:STRING-VALUE).

It seems that String-Value only returns the first 8 chars.

Please help.

Thanx in advance to anyone who can help me.

Sorry I make it sound like the ActiveX control is where the problem is occuring but I think it has to do with the Dynamic Query.

Still need help but. So thank you to anyone who can help.
