Call the cxExportTLToTextStream
procedure to export the tree list control’s content to a stream in plain text format. This format stores data without formatting, style, or print layout information. Compared to CSV, exported TXT files are more human-readable.
Code Example
The following code example exports tree list content to a file in Text format:
uses cxTLExportLink;
// ...
var
AStream: TMemoryStream;
begin
AStream := TMemoryStream.Create;
cxExportTLToTextStream(AStream, cxDBTreeList);
AStream.SaveToFile('Departments.txt');
AStream.Free;
end;
