Creating Tree Applets in the Applet Layout Editor

Tree applets can be created and modified in the Web Layout Editor. When you drag a TreeControl onto the applet, the tree controls and the Tree object definition are created.

When you right-click over the tree control, a pop-up menu appears with the following tree-specific options:

• Select Tree option. Allows you to copy and paste the tree control into another applet.
• Create New Tree Node option. Adds a new tree node to the tree. The tree node is created at the top level, and is subsequently moved using the Move Selected Tree Node option.
• Move Selected Tree Node option. Allows you to change the position of the tree node in the tree. You first click on the tree node you wish to move. Then you can use up, down, left, and right arrow keys, with the SHIFT key depressed, to move the node up or down a level or change its position within its level.

The Position property on all of the nodes is automatically updated for all operations.

Pressing the DELETE key when the tree appears in the Applet Web Template Layout window deletes the currently selected tree node. The Undo and Redo options in the Edit menu are active for all tree manipulation operations in the Applet Web Editor.
