Basic Concept

The SAP Table Tree control is a Windows-active OLE control that can work in various scenarios. The user can specify the control’s appearance and data in two ways:

in design mode (using different property pages)

at runtime using OLE automation calls

In either case, the structure of a node in the tree (i.e., the properties the node has) can be defined by the user. The user can then store and display any information within a node of the tree. (See also Configuring the Tree).

The Table Tree control supports several features:

drag-and-drop operations on demand

A default implementation for drag and drop transfers data in a pre-defined format, yet the use of your own transfer schemes is also supported. A set of events enables the user to react immediately on state changes of the control.

persistent storage methods for handling static R/3 data

R/3-aware execution

The SAP Table Tree control can perform as an R/3-aware control when you connect it to the Views collection of a Table object. Table objects are part of the SAP Table Factory control. Connecting these controls provides highly automated procedures for displaying and navigating through hierarchical data obtained from an R/3 System.
