Expand/Contract Symbol:Show Symbol at Root
- Updated2025-07-30
- 1 minute(s) read
Shows or hides the expand/contract symbols for items at indent level 0. The indent level 0 items become flush with the left side of the tree control when you hide the expand/contract symbols.
If you hide the expand/contract symbols, you can still expand or collapse an item at indent level 0 by double-clicking the item.
To disable the double-clicking functionality, wire a True constant to the Discard? parameter of the Item Close? event.
