statuscombo

Display a status icon for a single or multiple items from the DashBoard Tree View. When the status icon is clicked, a list of tree nodes is expanded; these nodes can be then clicked to open the editor for that node.

 This is largely intended to be created by dragging/dropping items from the DashBoard Tree View or Advanced Tree View into a PanelBuilder CustomPanel document.

A hierarchy of <treeobject/> elements with the same attributes allows you to create combined status items.

Syntax

<treeElement name="node-name" objectid="node-id"/>

The following code creates a statuscombo with 2 nodes:

<statuscombo grid="false" left="448" name="Favorite Cards" top="118">

<treeElement name="Slot 0: MFC-8322-N" objectid="10.1.9.36:5253&lt;br&gt;Slot 0&lt;br&gt;MFC-8322-N"/>

   <treeElement name="Slot 5: SRA-8602" objectid="10.1.9.36:5253&lt;br&gt;Slot 5&lt;br&gt;SRA-8602"/>

</statuscombo>

The result appears in DashBoard as:
