treeview - determine type of node (child, parent)

[Nikos]

Hi...I am working with the treeview ctrl... When I right click to its nodes, I want to be able to determine what type of node is selected... the root, a 1st level child, a 2nd level child ?? etc...
Any ideas?

Thank you...

Hi,
Try this:

Private Sub TreeView1_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
    'This will work as long as none your node
    'names contains the character "\"
    If Button = 2 Then 'Show on right mouse click
        Dim i As Integer
        Dim TV As String
        Dim Count As Integer
        TV = TreeView1.SelectedItem.FullPath
        For i = 1 To Len(TV)
            If Mid(TV, i, 1) = "\" Then Count = Count + 1
        Next i
        If Count = 0 Then
            MsgBox "This is a top-level node"
        Else
            MsgBox "This node is " & CStr(Count) & " levels into the structure"
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Hope this helps
