TreeView Questions Galore!!

[Zevlag]

OK I have a TreeView, it works.
1. How can I fill a combobox with the Root Nodes.
2. Adding a child node is case sensitive (ie.

tvwMenu.Nodes.Add "menu", tvwChild, "help", "I need Help"
is not the same as
tvwMenu.Nodes.Add "Menu", tvwChild, "help", "I need Help"

What is the best way to get around the that? (my thoughts were the combobox)
3. How do I fill a combo box with the list of images in an ImageList?
4. If I click and select an item in a treeview how do I detect which item is selected and delete it via a command button?

Thanks

Some answers ....

1. To get all the root nodes, loop throughthe nodes collection and any node that doesn't have a parent is a root node.

Dim lNode as Node

For Each lNode in Treeview1.Nodes
    If lNode.Parent Is Nothing then
        'This node is a root node
        Combo1.AddItem lNode.Text
    End If
Next lNode

2. The case sensitivity is because the first parameter when you add a node is the key of the parent node, and the keys are case sensitive. Easiest way to get around this is to force all keys to be upper case.

3. You'll need to use the ImageComboBox to get nice pictures in a combo. It's like a treeview in its structure, but instead of nodes, it has a ComboItems collection

4. The currently selected item can be retrieved by looking at the treeview Selected property

'Make sure a node is selected 
If Not TreeView1.Selected Is Nothing then
    Treeview1.Nodes.Remove TreeView1.Selected.Key
End if

When removing a node, don't forget to check if that node has any child nodes (use the Children property of the node)

OK lets say I wanted to list all the keys or tags of an imagelist in a combobox not the Images themselves, best way to do it is?

[gaffa]

This will load the keys or the tags of all the images in an imagelist into a combo box

    Dim lIndex As Long
    
    For lIndex = 1 To ImageList1.ListImages.Count
        'Key option
        Combo1.AddItem ImageList1.ListImages.Item(lIndex).Key
        'Tag option
        Combo1.AddItem ImageList1.ListImages.Item(lIndex).Tag
    Next lIndex
