treeview: checking ALL siblings

hi there!

I am working on a project that contains a treeview with a full directory listening in it...

Now I want the following to happen: when a node (read directory) gets checked, ALL the siblings (read subdirs beneath that dir) should also be checked... Think of it as what happens in many backup programs like NT Backup...

I already managed to do it with the 'first degree' sibling, but the rest, whaaaaaaa, not really...

A second question: I am also looking for a simple way to put all the directory names, on a button click, in a list...

Can anyone help me out?

Thanx in advance!

Try Something like the following code

private function CheckNodes(TopNode as node)
dim ThisNode as node
for each thisnode in treview.nodes
if thisnode.key<>"MainNode" then
if thisnode.parent.key=topnode.key then
thisnode.checked=true
if thisnode.children>0 then
checknodes thisnode
end if
end if
end if
next

This function assumes that the first node you added has a key of "MainNode".

All you have to do is call this function on click and it will cascade through each child node. There is probably a quicker way of doing it but I can't be bothered to work it out.
