One more with a Static array inside the structure. Sorry the Debug message are in french.

This is fantastic. It solves one half of something I have been stuck on for a while now. The other half I am stuck on is similar. Is there any way to adapt it so that instead of saving the contents of a linked list in binary form to a file and restoring, it could save the contents of a tree gadget to a file in binary and restore. I have a program that uses a tree gadget with 19872 rows and it takes a while to load up when inserting row by row. This looks like a quick way to load and restore the tree gadget once the initial row by row load is saved in binary. Thanks in advance

[Guimauve]

Sorry for the Delay.

For your question Yes It's possible but it's not very easy. You need to verify each node for sub item and Write and Read all information from your TreeGadget on the file you would like to create.

If you acces to the TreeGadget internal Structure by a Pointers you can Code a small procedures like these one.

Code: Select all

; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
; <<<<< Structure declaration >>>>>

Structure Point3D

   x.f
   y.f
   z.f

EndStructure

; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
; <<<<< Mutators >>>>>

Procedure SetPoint3Dx(*PointA.Point3D, x.f)

   *PointA\x = x

EndProcedure

Procedure SetPoint3Dy(*PointA.Point3D, y.f)

   *PointA\y = y

EndProcedure

Procedure SetPoint3Dz(*PointA.Point3D, z.f)

   *PointA\z = z

EndProcedure

; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
; <<<<< Observators >>>>>

Procedure.f GetPoint3Dx(*PointA.Point3D)

   ProcedureReturn *PointA\x

EndProcedure

Procedure.f GetPoint3Dy(*PointA.Point3D)

   ProcedureReturn *PointA\y

EndProcedure

Procedure.f GetPoint3Dz(*PointA.Point3D)

   ProcedureReturn *PointA\z

EndProcedure

; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
; <<<<< Read Binary file >>>>>

Procedure ReadPoint3D(*PointA.Point3D)

   SetPoint3Dx(*PointA, ReadFloat())
   SetPoint3Dy(*PointA, ReadFloat())
   SetPoint3Dz(*PointA, ReadFloat())

EndProcedure

; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
; <<<<< Write Binary file >>>>>

Procedure WritePoint3D(*PointA.Point3D)

   WriteFloat(GetPoint3Dx(*PointA))
   WriteFloat(GetPoint3Dy(*PointA))
   WriteFloat(GetPoint3Dz(*PointA))

EndProcedure

But Instead to set the data in a 3D point Structure you set the TreeGadget Structure directly.

The only problems I don't know the shape of the Structure used to create this gadget. Also I don't know how to acces this Structure.
