Syntax

CALL NOTIFY (orgchart-name, '_getSelected', widget-id<, node-id>);

Argument Type Description

widget-id
N returns the numeric, object identifier of the widget

node-id
N returns the numeric identifier of the node

Argument	Type	Description
widget-id	N	returns the numeric, object identifier of the widget
node-id	N	returns the numeric identifier of the node

Details

Use this method only in the labeled section of the SCL program that runs when a node is selected.

Another way to retrieve node-id is from the _SELF_ list. Use this statement in the _select method of a widget or node instead of calling the _getSelected method:

nodeid = getnitemn(_self_,'_nodeid_');

If a click occurred anywhere other than directly on a node, widget-id and node-id return 0. Be sure to check for 0 before calling other methods with node-id.
