How to find components

[bernfish]

Hello,
I'm looking for a simple way of finding all the components at every level for a parent item? For example, my user will enter a parent item and I need to display all the components used to make the parent, I need to add this code to an existing custom progress report.
Thanks, Bernfish

If you're talking about walking the widget tree (ie: you have a window with frames and you want to get a list of all frames and what they contain), then do a search for 'walking the widget tree' at www.peg.com.

This has been discussed many times before (and you will get examples of code).

Or if not, then use a FOR EACH statement to get the components.

is this a product structure, erp question ? there are thousands of progress apps not just the one you're working on.

but incase it is, you'd typically build a recursive proc i.e. a proc that calls it self.

e.g. a proc that loops thru the direct components of a parent. for every component the proc is called with the component as the parent param.

the result will be saved in a temp-table typically in the run/drill down order showing the parent component relationship. HTH
