findChildrenByText

Description

The findChildrenByText method allows you to search for all child nodes within a Treeview object that have a specific text value. This can be useful when you need to find nodes based on their text content, such as for searching or filtering purposes.

Parameters

1. string The text value to search for in the child nodes.

Returns

1. table A table containing all child nodes that have the specified text value.

Usage

• Creates a Treeview, adds multiple child nodes to the root node, and finds all child nodes with the specified text:

local basalt = require("basalt")

local mainFrame = basalt.createFrame()
local treeview = mainFrame:addTreeview()

local rootNode = treeview:getRoot()
local childNode1 = rootNode.addChild("Child Node 1")
local childNode2 = rootNode.addChild("Child Node 2")
local childNode3 = rootNode.addChild("Child Node 1")

-- Find all child nodes with the text "Child Node 1"
local foundNodes = rootNode.findChildrenByText("Child Node 1")

basalt.autoUpdate()

In this example, a Treeview object is created and added to the mainFrame. The getRoot method is used to access the root node, and multiple child nodes are added to it using the addChild method. The findChildrenByText method is then called on the root node with the text value "Child Node 1" as a parameter, returning a table containing all child nodes with that text value.
