VB - Check All Treeview Children

[The Hobo]

Some applications, such as virus scanners, have a feature that when you check a parent node (such as one labeled "C:\") it will select all children of that node (such as each individual folder within "C:\").

The following code below is a recursive function that will check each node under a certain node and check or uncheck it.

Private Sub CheckChildren(Node As Node)
Dim i As Integer, nodX As Node
 
  If Node.Children <> 0 Then 'If node has children
    Set nodX = Node.Child 'Catch first child
    For i = 1 To Node.Children 'Loop through each child
      nodX.Checked = Node.Checked 'Set as checked
      
      CheckChildren nodX 'Check to see if this node has children
      
      Set nodX = nodX.Next 'Catch next child
    Next 'Loop
  End If
End Sub

It can be used as follows:

Private Sub Treeview1_NodeCheck(ByVal Node As MSComctlLib.Node)
  CheckChildren Node 'Call subroutine
End Sub
