Question

I am learning the C# programming language and am making a payroll application add-on for SAP business One. I have a TreeView and need to have the name of a node appear on a TextBox after a use clicks on that node or when he presses a button “Add”, preferably on click only. I am using Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008.

Scenario:

- Component                        - Parent
          Earnings                     - child
              Housing Allowance                  - content of child
              Mobile Phone Allowance             - clicked and highlighted node
              Mileage Allowance
          Deductions                   - child

In the above, I would like a way such that if a user clicks on “Mobile Phone Allowance”, and it is highlighted, ‘Mobile Phone Allowance’ appears on a textbox. Im not sure if this can be done without having an Add button.

The Earnings and Deduction children are populated from a database. I need the above to make a Payroll calculator.

My Code:

private void PayrollFormulaBuilder_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Get service instance
    var earnDeductMasterService = Program.Kernel.Get<IEarnDeductMasterService>();

    //Query database for all records that have earnings
    var earnings = from ed in earnDeductMasterService.GetAllEarnDeductMasters()
                   where ed.U_PD_type.Trim().Equals("Earnings".Trim(), StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)
                   select ed.U_PD_description;

    if (earnings.Any(x => x != null))
    {
        //To populate subtree Earnings with U_PD_description  = Earnings results
        List<string> earningList = new List<string>(earnings) { };

        //adding all earnings to "Earnings" node
        foreach (string earning in earningList)
        {
            treeView1.Nodes[0].Nodes[0].Nodes.Add(earning);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        //Nothing to populate            
    }

    //Query database for all records that have deductions
    var deductions = from ed in earnDeductMasterService.GetAllEarnDeductMasters()
                     where ed.U_PD_type.Trim().Equals("Deductions".Trim(), StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)
                     select ed.U_PD_description;

    if (deductions.Any(x => x != null))
    {
        //To populate subtree Deductions with U_PD_description = Deductions results
        List<string> deductionList = new List<string>(deductions) { };

        //adding all earnings to "Earnings" node
        foreach (string deduction in deductionList)
        {
            treeView1.Nodes[0].Nodes[1].Nodes.Add(deduction);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        //Nothing to populate            
    }
}

I would imagine I would have to setup a method to capture this…but I’m not sure

private void treeView1_DoubleClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (inputStatus)
    {
        formula_display.Text += "something here"  // my Richtextbox for showing input
    }
    else
    {
        formula_display.Text = "something here"
        inputStatus = true;
    }
}

Could you use the TreeView AfterSelect event in place of your “something here” ?

treeview1.AfterSelect += new TreeViewEventHandler(treeview1_AfterSelect);

..and..

void treeview1_AfterSelect(object sender, TreeViewEventArgs e)
{
    formula_display.Text = e.Node.Text;
}
