TCustomShellTreeView.Collapse

Removes child nodes (if needed) when the specified tree node is collapsed.

Declaration

Source position: shellctrls.pas line 113

protected procedure TCustomShellTreeView.Collapse(

  Node: TTreeNode

); override;

Arguments

Node

  

Tree node affected in the method.

Description

Collapse is an overridden method in TCustomShellTreeView used to update the tree node specified in Node when it changes from the expanded to the collapsed state. It uses the value in the ExpandCollapseMode property to determine whether existing child nodes are removed from the collapsed tree node.

When ExpandCollapseMode is set to ecmCollapseAndClear, the DeleteChildren method in Node is called to free its child nodes. The operation is performed in a BeginUpdate / EndUpdate block to prevent updates to the control while the child nodes are deleted.

Collapse calls the inherited method prior to exit to update scroll bars on the control and to signal the OnCollapsed event handler (when assigned).

No actions are performed in the method when ComponentState is set to csDestroying.

Collapse is called when a tree node has executed its Collapse method.

Version info

Added in LCL version 3.0.
