[RESOLVED] Add child nodes to an existing treeview

My application presents a set navigational treeview on startup of the project. I allow the user to search for records using 1 of several child nore methods.

Now when they come back from that search a will need to add 1 or more additional child nodes

Example

Patient Selection

by Unit

by Next Review Date

Individual Patient

Consultant Note(s)



When user returns from say the individual Patient search I nees to load 1 or more child nodes under the Consultant Note(s) node

Patient Selection

by Unit

by Next Review Date

Individual Patient

Consultant Note(s)

Patient record 1

Patient record 2


Here is what I have (new at this control)

//adding the upper level node to the tree

treeViewProgressNotes.BeginUpdate()



// prevent repaint while adding nodes



aNode = treeViewProgressNotes.Nodes.Add("Patient Selection")

// then this will add a child at the next level

bNode = anode.Nodes.Add("by Unit")

bNode.Tag = 'Select by Unit, then Patient'

cNode = bnode.Nodes.Add("by Admission Date (multiple)")

cNode = bnode.Nodes.Add("by Next Review Date (multiple)")

cNode = bnode.Nodes.Add("Individual Patient")

cNode.Tag = 'Select by Unit, then Patient'

bNode = anode.Nodes.Add("by MedRec or Search")

bNode.Tag = 'Select by MR#, or do a Patient Search by Name'

bNode = anode.Nodes.Add("QuickSearch: Last 10 MR#'s Used")

bNode.Tag = 'Select from a list of up to last 10 patients accessed'

//adding 4 more upper level nodes at the tree root level

aNode = treeViewProgressNotes.Nodes.Add("Consultant Note(s)")



I want to ADD THEM HERE

Patient record 1

Patient record 2


How do I set the reference to this node (treeViewProgressNotes.Nodes.Add("Consultant Note(s)")
) in order to add some children??

Thanks

You already did something similar, try this

Code:

---

aNode = treeViewProgressNotes.Nodes.Add("Consultant Note(s)")
aNode.Nodes.Add("Patient record 1")
aNode.Nodes.Add("Patient record 2")

you mean you want to search for a node, then add 2 child nodes to the found node?

YesYes

I don't understand your program logic.
It appears selecting or deselecting nodes should result in a node search by your predetermined criteria, but I don't see where you're giving the information of what to search for...

When you build the tree give each node a unique name, so you can find it using treeViewProgressNotes.Nodes.Find

@4x2y...

good opportunity to use LINQ there:

Code:

---

Private Function FindNode(ByVal strName As String) As TreeNode
    Return treeViewProgressNotes.Nodes.Find(strName, True).FirstOrDefault
End Function
