[RESOLVED] Adding a Node to a Child Node - How?

I am adding a child node (Node 1) to a treeview and then I want to add a Child Node (Node 2) to the newly added child node (Node 1):

VB Code:

AddChild(Selectednode, "John Doe", 12) 'Adding Node1
 
intNodeNum = TreeView1.Nodes(0).Nodes.Count + 1 ' I am attempting to get the
                                                ' index of last added node
 
Selectednode = TreeView1.Nodes(0).Nodes(intNodeNum) ' <== I get an error on this line
 
AddChild(Selectednode, "Address", 13) ' <==Node 2

How do I do this?

I tried using the following:

VB Code:

TreeView1.SelectedNode = TreeView1.Nodes(0).PrevNode

Thinking that it would given me the index of the last node added (Node 1) but no dice.

Hi Mark,

Why you want to do it by code?
If you go via TOOLBOX -> select TREEVIEW and create it on your Form,
then go to the properties of your TREEVIEW and select NODES and you can
Add Root and Add Cilds as many as you need.

Happy New Year,

Happy New Year to you!!!

I want to be able to add the nodes during run time, specificaly when a User adds a name to a particular node (Node 1) I want to automatically add a child node to the newly created node (Node 2).

Thanks!

I thought so after I saw your second thread about Treeviews.
I'll try it.

Why don't you have the AddChild method return a reference to the newly added node? That way you can simply pass that reference as the first argument to the next call to AddChild.

As to your error, the index of the last node is Count-1, not Count+1.

Thanks for the post. The following code is my AddChild Sub:

VB Code:

Private Sub AddChild(ByVal CurrentNode As TreeNode, _
                   ByVal strText As String, ByVal intImage As Integer, _
                   Optional ByVal intSelectImage As Integer = 99999)
        Dim tvwnode As New TreeNode
        With tvwnode
            .Text = strText
            .ImageIndex = intImage
            If intSelectImage <> 99999 Then .SelectedImageIndex = intSelectImage Else .SelectedImageIndex = intImage
        End With
        CurrentNode.Nodes.Add(tvwnode)
        TreeView1.ExpandAll()
    End Sub

How would I alter this sub in order to return a reference to the newly added node?

Thanks!

VB Code:

Private [b]Function[/b] AddChild(ByVal CurrentNode As TreeNode, _
                   ByVal strText As String, ByVal intImage As Integer, _
                   Optional ByVal intSelectImage As Integer = 99999) [b]As TreeNode[/b]
        Dim tvwnode As New TreeNode
        With tvwnode
            .Text = strText
            .ImageIndex = intImage
            If intSelectImage <> 99999 Then .SelectedImageIndex = intSelectImage Else .SelectedImageIndex = intImage
        End With
        CurrentNode.Nodes.Add(tvwnode)
 
        'personally I would put this outside of this function
        '[b]TreeView1.ExpandAll()[/b]
 
        'return value
        Return tvwnode
    End Sub

Make a function out of it.

Thanks, it worked like a charm!!
