Tree View Control - how to get started?

[gbsmeco]

Hi
I've been reading bits and pieces about tree view controls and it looks like they could be very useful to me in all sorts of files but I got 'lost'

I think I have understood how the corresponding table needs to be structured, with parent ID etc but... I just don't see how I get started in order to create a tree view control

do I need to download an add-in? if so, where can I find it? and how do I connect code to my table? can I copy previously used code or do I need to rewrite it all?

thanks in advance

thanks again

ps shouldn't it be 'life is what...' without 'just'?

Yeah, probably -- time for an adjustment

Alright, so I'm starting to use these useful treeviews

however, I haven't managed to find a list of methods/properties - do you know where I can find one?
I've found http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.controls.treeview.setvalue.aspx but it doesn't quite correspond

in this specific case I'd like a method which changes the currently selecteditem
having found that tree.selecteditem.key gives you the currently selected key, I tried tree.SelectedItem.Key = __ but it was just a guess and it didn't work...
any thoughts?
thanks in advance

Here's some code for populating a treeview...

I'm fine (so far) with populating treeviews, I eventually managed to find the property I was looking for (tree1.SelectedItem.Key)
if there's more I need I'll probably ask for help again!
thanks

Hello

I have just discovered the MS Treeview Control in excel but can't quite figure out how to populate them. How do you populate these with items from a range of cells and how do you specify the parent-child relationship?

Hi Erick,

See if this gives you any useful jumping-off points.
And this one.
