Getting data from tree-view drop down list

[josephb2381006]

Hello,

I am writing a script using extendScript for Illustrator to create a UI to enter information.  I have a list of options that works as a drop down menu, but I am trying the tree view type of menu so I can collapse different options, but I don't know how to get the index of the selected item from the node.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

page 45 - 57 is all treeview related information.

never worked with treeviews before but without any other information of your script

treeview.selection.index

Thanks! I will give that a try, and thanks for the PDF.

It looks like each node in the tree view menu begins a new array at index 0 for all the items within it, but if the top of the tree is searched by the specific entry of each item, than it works. 

if (topTree.selection === item) {

code block for this item

}
