Putting an object under the "Local Object" list in the embed tree is very
easy to do. It requires using the new TREE attribute of the #EMBED statement
instead of a MAP atribute. This new TREE attribute is very nice. It is a vast
improvement over the old MAP attribute. Using TREE, it is very easy to
arrange embeds any way you like into a tree structure.
Basically, any string used in this parameter that starts with 'Local Objects'
will cause the embed to appear in the local objects list.
I am using this attribute with UltraTree, when it is installed in C5. For the
attribute parameter, I use a call to a #GROUP, which returns the string that
determines placement of the embed into the embed tree. Because UltraTree is a
master object that controls subsidiary objects, I structure the whole
collection as a tree of objects under the controlling UltraTree object.
Extremely simple to do.
You can generate subheadings and all sorts of neat stuff.
Perhaps this would make a good topic for an article in Clarion Magazine.
