Parsing Text [RESOLVED]

[JCScoobyRS]

I have a TreeView where the node keys are dynamically created. The key is basically the ParentNode.Text_Node.Text so if the structure looked like this:

Node1
|_Sub1

The Key for Sub1 would be "Node1_Sub1". This TreeView also has the ability of having nodes being created on the fly through Drag and Drop. I need to be able to get the key of a highlighted node, which I can already do, parse it to get only the portion after the "_" and then compare it to the text of the node being created if the drop were commensed. Does this make sense? I need to be able to make sure that the node that will be created isn't the same as the node it's being created under. Thanks, Jeremy

yeah, i think i understand. I do something a little similar but I don't allow drag and drop. You just need to parse the key name . .

Sub GetNodeKeySuffix()
    Dim strKeyNode As String
    Dim intKeySep As Integer
    Dim strKeySuffix As String
    
    strKeyNode = TreeView1.SelectedItem.Key
    intKeySep = InStr(1, strKeyNode, "_", vbTextCompare)
    strKeySuffix = Right$(strKeyNode, (Len(strKeyNode) - intKeySep))
 
    If strKeySuffix = "Your compare text here" Then
        'Don't create node
    End If
End Sub
