index of selected tree control item

[Timothy 123]

Hi,

I have a tree control. When I select an item from the tree control, how do I get the index of the selected item in the tree. I have tried the active item row number invoke node, but that does not seem to work.

Thank you,

I tried running your code but was unable to select any item in the tree.  The tree was enabled.  At first I thought it may have been related to no wait statement in the loop.  I added that, but it didn't help.  The active row number said it was #31, but nothing was selected.

Your tree "control" is actually an indicator....change it to a control and WAHLAH...you can select items in the tree. You have tags assigned to each item, just use the tree control output to get the value of the selected item's tag. There is no "row" number as such that I know of.

Good job, Bill.  I didn't think of that one.  Most front panel items look slightly different between their "control" state and their "indicator" state.  I guess the tree control looks the same.

[BillMe]

Yeah, that one looks too much the same either way. What clued me in was the icon on the block diagram....

This should do it

Why the response to a 6 year old message thread?

why not ?

Actually just found half my answer with this 'belated' reply.  What I would actually like to determine is the index of just the parent or 1st column selection.  Any ideas?

This is what I came up with...
