adding folders to a tree view.

[flamewavetech]

i need an example of how to add folders to a listview. for example if i had 3 folders, folder 1 and folder 2 are in the same folder, and folder 3 is in folder 1. the code would add the name for folder1 and folder2 to the treeview and then add folder3 as a child or subitem for folder1.

thx.

I am about a day or so away from creating the ultimate folder browser tree view class.

If you can wait till then, I'll share it with ya.

I would love to see it. Would it include drag & drop options for multiple elements?

I didn't know you could drag and drop in the tree view . . .

If you can, then I'll look at it (and probably take another day or so)

It will however do the following:
Show icons representing files or folder
Show drives
When something is expanded, the contents of that item are loaded THEN, not at the creation of the treeview.
Numpad * still works though.
It handles changing media and file deletion (not smartly though -- it re-creates the whole view and unchecks everything)
Allows the user to check off a folder and the class will return the contents of the folder, file and every sub folder in it.

It also handles the treeview checkbox bug.

Actually, it's not a class, it's a module.

And while I am at it (I feel all childish now) what are classes used for?

I can define my own classes in modules, so I fail to see their use.

I thought you meant the TV and LV (all together). And I was asking about dragging multiple files from one folder to another.

Unfortunately, no.

You see, I fail to see how I could implement that.

As it is, this is the skeleton for a project of mine where I am going to present the contents of one's computer and let them check off folders to be copied, then choose a destination and the project will copy everything they checked off to the destination.

This is to help me recover everything I can from partially unreadable CD's.
