Blt_TreeDeleteNode(3)
NAME
Blt_TreeDeleteNode - Deletes a node and its descendants.
SYNOPSIS
#include <bltTree.h> Blt_TreeNode Blt_TreeDeleteNode(tree, node)
ARGUMENTS
Blt_Tree tree (in) Tree containing the node.
- Blt_TreeNode node (in) Node to be deleted.
- _________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
This procedure deletes a given node and all it descendants from a tree
data object.
The arguments are as follows:
tree The tree containing the parent node.
- node Node to be deleted. The node and its descendant nodes are
- deleted. Each node's data values are deleted also. The reference count of the Tcl_Obj is decremented.
- Since all tree objects must contain at least a root node, the root node itself can't be deleted unless the tree is released and destroyed. Therefore you can clear a tree by deleting its root, but the root node will remain until the tree is destroyed.
RETURNS
Always returns TCL_OK. Errors generated in a notification callbacks are backgrounded (see Tcl_TreeCreateNotifyHandler).
EXAMPLE
- The following example deletes the root node.
- Blt_TreeNode root;
- root = Blt_TreeRootNode(token);
Blt_TreeDeleteNode(token, root);
NOTIFICATIONS
Blt_TreeDeleteNode can trigger tree notify events. You can be notified whenever a node is deleted by using the Blt_TreeCreateNotifyHandler. A callback routine is registered that will be automatically invoked whenever a node is deleted via Blt_TreeDeleteNode to the tree.
KEYWORDS
