Tree View indent

[GlenW]

Can you change the amount of indent between node levels in a tree view.

only way i can think of is adding it as another child (child of a child)

the .Indentation property?

Great! I hadn't noticed that!

that works accross the board though, or is that what you're after??

i assumed you meant different amounts of indent for each node etc

Yes, the first level text is all long, but the third level is short, so I want to use different indents.

this might sound like a dumb idea but what about padding them with spaces i.e. " node caption"

Well, without API, it's probably not possible. You may need to create your own TreeView with the appropriate windows messages. Is it really worth the trouble?

I want to make them as small as possible.
So padding defeats the main objective.
I'm just bloody awkward.

well you could set the Indentation to 0
then all 1st level children are padded with a space
2nd level childre are padded with 2 spaces etc.

sounds crappy i know but it sounds easy too
