Hello  
Is there a way that allows me to click on the path and access a window?  
for example, in the following screenshot, I want when I click on ‘barx’ to open a window.  
I have tried but without success.

Hi,

When populating your Tree View you could add a column “window” to the dataset where you store the wanted window for each element. Then you add a mouseClicked event in your Tree Vew like that:

```auto
if event.clickCount == 2:	#react to double clicks only
	if event.source.selectedItem > -1:
		system.nav.swapTo(event.source.data.getValueAt(event.source.selectedItem, "window"))

```

Thanks for your reply.  
but what I want to do is put a path in the root folder. In the screenshot I attached, I want the ‘barx’ folder to have a window path too

Instead of

```auto
if event.source.selectedItem > -1:

```

you can check for

```auto
if event.source.selectedPath:

```

This gives you the path also for your folders. The windows to navigate to could be stored in a dataset memory tag.
