Creating a Child node in a treeview

The folowing code loops round looking for NodeKey to match the NextParent. Nodekey is a Key which I have setup for the Nodes Class

When it matches the key I wish to find the index of that key and then set the selected node to that index and create a new child underneath.

Unfortuently this code does not seem to work. Does anybody have any ideas.

'Loop Round tree View
If (cNode.NodeKey = nextParent) Then
sString = nextElement & " " & nextDesc
iRecord = cNode.Index

TreeView1.SelectedNode = TreeView1.Nodes(iRecord)
Nextmode = TreeView1.SelectedNode

NextMode.Nodes.Add(New HalcrowTreeNode(sString, nextElement))

End If

Thanks in Advance

am not sure if it works because i don't know how your custom node looks like but i think it should be

VB Code:

If (cNode.NodeKey = nextParent) Then
sString = nextElement & " " & nextDesc
TreeView1.SelectedNode = cNode
'rest of the code

or, if your class alows it

VB Code:

If (cNode.NodeKey = nextParent) Then
sString = nextElement & " " & nextDesc
TreeView1.SelectedNode = CType(cNode,Treenode)
''rest of the code

if my ideea of nodeindex is right then index reffers only to the first level of childnodes of the referred node

something like this
( (n) are indexes )

VB Code:

'  [+]root(0)
'       |    
'       |------child1(0)
'       |
'       |---[+]child2(1)
'       |        |
'       |        |------child3(0)
'       |        |
'       |        '------child4(1)
'       |
'       '------child5(2)

ie. to reffer child4 you would use mytree.nodes(0).nodes(1).nodes(1)

by the way if one of the code above works for you i'd like to know how your custom treeview class looks like because i never really managed to inherit the treeview and treenode and add custom properties to them.
i found a workthrough on microsoft page wich doesn't work, or it's something i'm missing
it's located here
