Bug with alt-grey *

Post by KrispeKreme »

alt-grey * in the tree view pane expands all subfolders similar to what explorer does. The bug occurs when you do it more than once then the tree view duplicated the list of subfolders adding another one for each time you press alt-grey *. This seems to be visual bug only as refresh fixes it.

Ex.
hit alt-grey * once

Code: Select all

c:\
   vmwave
       VMs
           Suse 9.1 Pro
hit alt-grey * twice

Code: Select all

c:\
   vmwave
       VMs
           Suse 9.1 Pro
           Suse 9.1 Pro
       VMs
           Suse 9.1 Pro
hit alt-grey * thrice

Code: Select all

c:\
   vmwave
       VMs
           Suse 9.1 Pro
           Suse 9.1 Pro
           Suse 9.1 Pro
       VMs
           Suse 9.1 Pro
           Suse 9.1 Pro
       VMs
           Suse 9.1 Pro
etc.

ctrl-r collapses tree and restores the view to normal

there is no such command as alt gray* in x2
what you see must be a peculiarity of the tree control
to expand branches the correct command is alt+right arrow, which doesn't play up like this

I've seen that too in an early alpha version at some time. Didn't give it much thought at that time (practically never use the tree anyway).

Now I can only see Alt+Grey* generates a message in the statusbar saying 'This command is not applicable for the tree pane', as Nikos says. :shrug:

There might not be such a command as Alt-Grey* (or Alt-NumPad* as I prefer to call it) Nikos but it does expand the entire branch multiple times if you use it. Shift-NumPad* does the same. NumPad* gives the "Not applicable...." message.
Is this system dependent? I'm using Windows XP home.

Only perhaps if they cause a standard component (treeview) in your application to behave in a nonstandard way...

Just checked again (Win XP Pro SP1) using Shift+Numpad* and Alt+Numpad* (didn't read the first post properly).

Those two commands expand the node in the tree as KrispeKreme says!!! Do it again and you have a dpulicate and so on...

Doesn't happen in M$ Explorer though :?
