[Closed] DotNet Treenode.tag Property?

Hello Sumesh,

the .tag-property can be used as a container for all kinds of data. You can store for instance a struct with data related to the treenode. The way I do this goes as follows:

struct vehicleStruct --this struct stores info about a car
    (
    	model = "Large", size = 10, passengers = 3
    )
    theNode = dotnetObject "treenode" --create a new treenode
    theNode.tag = dotNetMxsValue (vehicleStruct())--add the struct to the treenode, in the tag-property

In this example a struct is added to the tag of a treenode. This uses the "dotNetMxsValue" method. If you want to add more common valuetypes such as strings or integers, you can just assign them to the tag without this method. If you want to retrieve that struct back from the treenode you do as follows:

theStruct = theNode.tag.value

Hope this helps,
Klaas

Thanks Klaas,

That gave me an idea on what it is. I will be trying it out today.
Thanks for the detailed explanation again.
