treeview. number of items in a folder?

[Gibbon]

Hi, i cant seem to work out an expression to calculate how many items are in a certain folder?

Theres only "count number of items" and that counts them all?

Thanks
Andy

Use the expression GetNChildren( "Tree Control", >Identifier<) (Get Child Count of).

If you want to separate items from folders use a simple Fast Loop in combination with the condition Is Folder?.
This should be pretty easy...

Use the expression GetNChildren( "Tree Control", >Identifier<) (Get Child Count of).

doesnt seem to work?? I simple have 1 event.

--selection changed
---- set counter to GetNChildren( "Tree Control", selected folder)

does nothing?

Thanks

Hi, it seems on my tree view, if i count the number of items in the tree, any items ive added at runtime are NOT counted for? How come? Please dont let this be another bug, as if it is, i think its time to give up with mmf, as thats all im finding!

Cheers

My guess is that those added are just virtual, if you read a filelist from a harddrive and add a folder to the view it will not create the folder on the harddrive. Instead I would use the file object to create the folder on the harddrive and then reload the filelist into the treeview and then it should count.

Just an example.

Cheers tho.
