Adding columns to TreeView Nodes

[weirddemon]

I'd hate to have to create my own control, but will attempt to if it comes to it.

I need to display columns within a TreeView node so I can display specific information about that item within columns.

Think of a ListView as a TreeNode. That's basically what I'm trying to get at.

I'm hoping for a relatively easy solution, but I can't imagine this would be too easy.

Any information would be helpful.

Thanks

I would strongly suggest that you do as Windows Explorer does and simply use two separate controls: a TreeView and a ListView. When the user selects a node in the tree you display the corresponding data in the ListView. What you're asking for would be rather difficult I think and I can't imagine it presenting a pleasant interface to the user. The TreeView/ListView combo is something that's familiar to every Windows user so that's a good UI design.

That's probably a plausible solution. I've seen many controls like that.

I wanted the ListView within the Child Node so I could display an item in a Node. Then I would display sub items in child nodes and provide additional information about those subitems in the "ListView."

Once I use a fixed font in the treeview control to simulate columns
