The Windows Forms Tree View Control helps to display the hierarchy of nodes that can be used to represent the organization structure, file system or any other system which includes hierarchical representation.

For each node added in the hierarchy, user can add a child node to it or a sibling node to it provided there is a parent node for the selected node present.

The article below explores the Tree View Control and depicts the way as how to add a Child node or a sibling node to the selected node.

Case 1: How to add a Child node to a selected node

Create a tree node object and then add it to the selected node in the control.

Below is the code to do that:

Dim tnode As New TreeNode(textBox1.Text)
treeView1.SelectedNode.Nodes.Add(tnode)
treeView1.ExpandAll()
If treeView1.SelectedNode.Nodes.Count > 1 And treeView1.SelectedNode.ForeColor <> Color.Blue Then
treeView1.SelectedNode.ForeColor = Color.Brown
End If

Case 2 : How to add a Sibling to a selected node

To add a sibling to a selected node (provided it has a parent node)
Below code implements this concept:

Dim tnode As New TreeNode(textBox1.Text)
tnode.ForeColor = Color.Brown
treeView1.SelectedNode.Parent.Nodes.Add(tnode)

Case3 : Delete a particular selected node

Use the remove method to delete the selected node.

treeView1.SelectedNode.Remove()

Case 4: Use of context Menu

All the above three cases can be performed via use of context menu also.

Thus a user can use this control for displaying the hierarchical structures

treeview by manny On October 11, 2006

i find this article very useful as i am a newbie in this .NET world and is exploring vb2005.  I was able to use vb 6.0 for a while when I was in college for our thesis.  however, i was only able to explore those things that will work with our thesis.  nevertheless, after few years, here i am again trying to get engaged with it.  i had a project at hand.  a simple application like the System Information window of the VB2005 (Help > About... > click System Info).  Im trying to create a similar project like that with a treeview.  however, what i need to achieve is whenever a user click on a node, it displays a certain information on the panel2.  the information is fixed, its more like a HELP file for one of our applications here at the office that our clients are using.  Its an old application actually that the developers did not or were not able to come up with a Help manual (soft and hardcopy).  so i thought i'll create one so to help or give our users an idea on how to explore the app.   is there an area where i can get an example on how to achieve (re:treeview) or should i use a different control that is much applicable for this project?  thank you!
