No multiple selection in Treeview not working?

pim

I added following statement to the treeview settings, but I can still select multiple objects.

"TREEVIEW_NO_MULTISELECT bool True if no multiple selection is allowed."

        customgui = c4d.BaseContainer()
        customgui.SetBool(c4d.TREEVIEW_BORDER, c4d.BORDER_THIN_IN)
        customgui.SetBool(c4d.TREEVIEW_HAS_HEADER, True) # True if the tree view may have a header line.
        customgui.SetBool(c4d.TREEVIEW_HIDE_LINES, False) # True if no lines should be drawn.
        customgui.SetBool(c4d.TREEVIEW_MOVE_COLUMN, True) # True if the user can move the columns.
        customgui.SetBool(c4d.TREEVIEW_RESIZE_HEADER, True) # True if the column width can be changed by the user.
        customgui.SetBool(c4d.TREEVIEW_FIXED_LAYOUT, True) # True if all lines have the same height.
        customgui.SetBool(c4d.TREEVIEW_ALTERNATE_BG, True) # Alternate background per line.
        customgui.SetBool(c4d.TREEVIEW_CURSORKEYS, True) # True if cursor keys should be processed.
        customgui.SetBool(c4d.TREEVIEW_NOENTERRENAME, False) # Suppresses the rename popup when the user presses enter.
        customgui.SetBool(c4d.TREEVIEW_NO_MULTISELECT, True) #True if no multiple selection is allowed."

        self._treegui = self.AddCustomGui( 1000, c4d.CUSTOMGUI_TREEVIEW, "", c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT | c4d.BFV_SCALEFIT, 0, 0, customgui)
        if not self._treegui:
            print "[ERROR]: Could not create TreeView"
            return False

Hi @pim I came across this recently myself then I found out in the documentation it states:

TreeViewFunctions.GetDragType() returns: The object drag type, or c4d.NOTOK to disable drag-and-drop

So, try setting the GetDragType to c4d.NOTOK:

    def GetDragType(self, root, userdata, obj):
        return c4d.NOTOK

Hope it helps.

Cheers,
Lasse

@lasselauch said in No multiple selection in Treeview not working?:

def GetDragType(self, root, userdata, obj):
    return c4d.NOTOK

Sorry, that did not solve the issue.
Multiple selection is still possible!

Also you say "c4d.NOTOK to disable drag-and-drop", but I want to disable multiple selections in the treeview.

It was either this or disabling the DragStart function that did the trick for me can't remember exactly, sorry.
However, it seems a bit odd that you can set the Flag TREEVIEW_NO_MULTISELECT to True and it still let's you drag Objects.

pim

Isn' there a difference between selecting and drag-and-drop an object?

Can you share your code? and on which version are you? Which OS?
Cheers,

[URL-REMOVED] @maxon: This section contained a non-resolving link which has been removed.

pim

OK, I can reproduce it in your code.
It goes wrong when you add children (using the button on the bottom of the dialog).
You can select multiple children.
Parent objects, you can indeed only select one.

I guess AddChild() should be changed?

    def AddChild(self, obj):
        obj._parent = weakref.ref(self)
        self.children.append(obj)

pim

I also noticed that deselecting a child does not work.
def Select(self, root, userdata, obj, mode) does not deselect children when the mode is c4d.SELECTION_NEW.

However, I cannot find what is wrong.

mp5gosu

I would guess that TreeView items are arbitrary nodes and only top level nodes are managed (and even then - only if they are already of the right type like GeListNode)
So you have to take care about any node items, because they simply do not belong directly to the treeview and thus cannot be managed.

If you write custom list classes, you have to do the selection management manually anyway.

Cheers.

pim

I think you are right.
Doing it 'manually' works fine.

# deselect all
for tex in TextureObjectIterator(self._listView.listOfTexture):
      tex.Deselect()

But let's see what Maxon replies.

m_adam

Hi @pim, TREEVIEW_NO_MULTISELECT only change SELECTION_ADD to SELECTION_NEW when the Select method is called.

So you have to support parent properly (which is not the case in my previous scrip), but you can adapt the Select method like so (Note that since our checked method, also select the object the TREEVIEW_NO_MULTISELECT don't prevent at all to have multiple stuff selected).

    def Select(self, root, userdata, obj, mode):
        """
        Called when the user selects an element.
        """
        if mode == c4d.SELECTION_NEW:
            for tex in TextureObjectIterator(self.listOfTexture):
                tex.Deselect()
            obj.Select()

        elif mode == c4d.SELECTION_ADD:
            obj.Select()
            
        elif mode == c4d.SELECTION_SUB:
            obj.Deselect()

Cheers,
Maxime.
