UniGui UniTreeView Populated by UniMenuItems, item count 0

[Franco Grech]

Good day everyone

I am building an app where i have to populate a UniTreeView from UniMenuItems in code.

ItemTree is a UniTreeView

ItemList Is a TList of UniMenuItems

Code :

procedure TdtfrmFolderBuilder.RefreshFolder;
var
 xItem : TCostumeMenuItem;
 function GetParent(AParentID : integer) : TCostumeMenuItem;
 var
   xI :Integer;
 begin
     for xI := 0 to ItemList.Count -1 do
     begin
         if ItemList[xI].ITEM_ID = AParentID then
         begin
           Result := ItemList[xI];
           exit;
         end;
     end;
     Result := TCostumeMenuItem(nil);
 end;
 procedure PrepareTreeView;
 begin
   if Assigned(ItemTree) then begin
     ItemTree.Free;
     lst1.Items.Add('DDes');
   end;
   ItemTree := TUniTreeView.Create(Self);
   lst1.Items.Add('Created');
   ItemTree.OnClick := ItemTreeClick;
   //ItemTree.OnAjaxEvent := ItemTreeAjax;
   lst1.Items.Add('Events Added');
   ItemTree.Items.Clear;
   lst1.Items.Add('Items Cleared');
 end;
begin
  PrepareTreeView;
  ItemTree.BeginUpdate;
  fdtrnsctn_buildfulltree.StartTransaction;
  fdqry_buildfulltree.Open;
  ItemList.Clear;
  unmntms_folder.Items.Clear;


  while fdqry_buildfulltree.Eof = false do
  begin
    xItem := TCostumeMenuItem.Create(Self);
    xItem.ID := fdqry_buildfulltree.FieldByName('O_ID').AsInteger;
    xItem.Tag := xItem.ID;
    xItem.HID := fdqry_buildfulltree.FieldByName('O_HID').AsInteger;
    xItem.ITEM_ID := fdqry_buildfulltree.FieldByName('O_ITEM_ID').AsInteger;
    xItem.PARENT_ID := fdqry_buildfulltree.FieldByName('O_PARENT_ITEM_ID').AsInteger;
    xItem.ItemName := fdqry_buildfulltree.FieldByName('finalname').AsString;
    xItem.Caption := xItem.ItemName;
    xItem.Name := 'btn_'  + xItem.ID.ToString;
    ItemList.Add(xItem);
    fdqry_buildfulltree.Next;
  end;
  fdqry_buildfulltree.Close;
  fdtrnsctn_buildfulltree.Commit;

  for xItem in ItemList do
  begin
     if xItem.PARENT_ID = 0 then
     begin
       unmntms_folder.Items.Add(xItem);
       //unpmn_detail1.Items.Add(xItem);
     end
     else
     begin
       GetParent(xItem.PARENT_ID).Add(xItem);
     end;
  end;
  lst1.Items.Add('Finished Vir Tree Build Totale  : ' +unmntms_folder.Items.Count.ToString);
  ItemTree.Align := alLeft;
  ItemTree.Parent := Self;
  ItemTree.Width := 350;
  ItemTree.SourceMenu := unmntms_folder;
  lst1.Items.Add('Source menu added');
  ItemTree.EndUpdate;
  lst1.Items.Add('Item count in SOurce : ' + unmntms_folder.Items.Count.ToString + ' Count in View : ' + ItemTree.Items.Count.ToString);

end;

 

The problem is after i add the source menu ItemTree.items.count returning a 0 i check in both debug mode and its a 0 however i can see the items in runtime.

Why is this happening and how i can fix this issue.
Thanks for any kind of help
