Tree-Table View

[bcooney]

I've hit an interface wall. What I want is a tree table view , but I can't think of how to do this in FM elegantly.

My goal is a portal of checkbox choices (the parents). Each choice has one or more checkbox choice children. A child can appear in one or more parents, but parents are unique (aren't they now : ).

If the user deselects a parent, the children of that parent become disabled for selection. However, a user can select any or none of the children in a selected parent.

How can I achieve this in FM? The quick way out is a portal of children, sorted by parent, I suppose. However, won't achieve the ability to disable all children of one parent with one click.

Hey Barbara,

You haven't seen this Hierarchical Portals white paper yet?

It's good stuff.

Actually, I have but had forgotten about it. Thanks a million, I think I can modify it to do what I want. It's a great start.

Hi,

Seedcode also has a Hierarchical portal template available.
