Create Card does not take in account groups with BackgroundBehavior set to true

[mrcoollion]

Hello LC experts,

I am trying to create a card via script in a tree view widget with

Code: Select all

create card tCardName

.
However, I came to the conclusion that it does not take into account groups with BackgroundBehavior set to true while if I create a card manually via the menu the new card shows the background groups as expected.
I tried

Code: Select all

place bg "TreeAndNavigation" onto cd tCardName

but this throws an error message?!
same goes for

Code: Select all

place background group "TreeAndNavigation" onto card tCardName

The error code:

widget"Tree View": execution error at line 33 (Chunk: source is not a container), char 1

Important fact: The code is in the tree view widget which is also part of this background group.
Does this prevent the group from being placed upon the new card? Are there any workarounds?

Regards,

Paul

Hi Paul,

just created a group (backgroundbehavior set to TRUE) with a TREE VIEW widget, a button and a radiobutton.
The button has a mouseup handler with: create card

Everytime I click the button a new card is created WITH this group on it.
So I cannot reproduce what you are experiencing, LC 9.5, macOS 10.14.6!?
This has always been working in LC.

But please post the complete script of your tree view widget.

So here is the stack i mentioned.
The goal is to only have to change the tree view structure and then to be able to add or delete associated cards with a tree item.
The only code to review is in the Tree View Widget.

In the Menu Tree only Tree Items Sub AA and Sub BA have cards associated.
Add or delete a card by double Click on the Tree Item.

Hi Paul,

tested and works as exspected!
I ended with these cards in the stack and the group including treeveiw was on every newly created card:
Sub AA
Sub CA
Menuitem with no subitems
Sub BA

The project browser however insisted that the new cards were EMPTY, until I closed and reopened that li'l sucker.

It does have that annoying new tendency, however, you shouldn't have to close it out, just collapsing / expanding the node should work

So I @#^%$ myself by having the project browser open for checking if my code worked
Thanks for spending time on this.

A question: is it possible to see the difference between clicking the right or left mouse button. I could not get that to work in the Tree View?

Just made a quick test, and I'm afraid this widget, and others, does not react on any MOUSEXXX at all.
Too bad that widgets do not support these basic handler and most of the time "roll their own".
actionDoubleClick? COME ON!

Agree, MOUSXX should be supported in all Widgets.

Thanks, Klaus for taking the time for me.
