Displaying all children of an inlink obect

Hi,

I am not sure how to do this but I have an object X which contains an inlink from an object Y in another module.

Object  Y (will ALWAYS be a heading) and will have a number of children (Y.1, Y.2,Y.3 etc) which each of which may also contain children (Y.1.1.     Y.1.2,    Y.2.1  etc etc). The number of levels under Y is not always the same.

Can anyone advise how I can create a layout DXL that will be able to display, for Object X, the inlink Object Y (in bold format) followed by ALL the objects (children, grandchilden etc  etc ) under Y?

Thainks for any advice

First, create a layout with the wizard such that "all" inlinked objects are shown (specifically that means open the other module); and get it to display something about object Y; such as Object Heading.

edit the Layout.  Where you see "display" commands you should see that Object otherO represents your "Y".  Now you can recursively iterate all children of Y; outlined as follows:

• void Recurse(Object o, int Level)
• {  if (null o) then return
•     if (isDeleted(o)) then return 
•    display number of TAB characters for each input Level
•     display something about o
•     Object oChild
•     for oChild in o do
•    {  Recurse(oChild, Level+1)
•    }
• }
• Recurse(otherO, 0)
