[Gambas-user] Parsing a xml file from internet

[Caveat]

Hi Mato,

I have put together a quick demonstration project which parses a String
(out of a TextArea on the Form) of XML and places the result into a
TreeView (on the same Form).

Attached you will find a tar file of the project, plus a screen shot.

The code is based on an article I found at
http://es.wikibooks.org/wiki/Gambas/Manipular_documentos_XML (Thanks and
all credit to the original author!!!)

I made some slight changes as the code didn't quite work in its original
form with the XML as given.

Regards,
Caveat
