How can we label, add and link tree sub nodes in a TreeView Control in powerpoint

[shivani2212]

Hi,

I am trying to use Treeview control 6.0 in powerpoint, but m stuck up. I dont know how I can label, add and link the tree sub nodes through VBA code.

Please help me on this...

Here is a tutorial for TreeViews in Access: http://bytes.com/topic/access/insigh...-into-treeview. Most, if not all, of the VBA should be the same and I would think that the properties of the control would be the same. Should be a good start.

You can (also) find parts 2 3 and 4 on my youtube channel:
Part 1 (Basic): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5KqFjhQqNg
Part 2 (Navigation by click): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7jCSMRpM6s
Part 3 (Update of treeview): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9jc4e3VMbc
Part 4 (Icons): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrLwUYjrByY

If you want to get notified when part 5 (Right click context sensitive menu) gets released then don't forget to subscribe to my youtube channel, its free. :)

I have not gotten around to making posts here on Bytes for parts 2+3+4, but its on my ToDo list.

Hi shivani2212

You have tried to link to an image that is placed on your harddrive. To use Images in your post, click the Advanced button, and then add it as an attachment.

Hi TheSmileyCoder,

Another try to upload the image...

Thanks,

Yes, that makes quite good sense. FORMS is the access project collection of open forms. Since you are in PowerPoint you will not have the same properties available to you.

If you have added a Treeview control to your PowerPoint then you need to set the Treeview reference (tv) to point to your Treeview. I have never done VBA code for PowerPoint, but like Access has a collection of forms, Word has a collection of Documents and Excel has a collection of Worksheets/Workbooks, I presume PowerPoint has a collection of ?presentations??

Furthermore you will in all likely-hood not have recordsets or similar defined. This is an example of how to do it in ACCESS, not PowerPoint. You will need to make heavy modifications to the code to make it work in PowerPoint.

Best of luck with your project.

If you provide some more details on what it is you want to show in the treeview as well as how you get the information I might be able to provide a more detailed reply.

Thanks for the link zmbd.

My pleasure... at one time we were going to pull stuff from Access to Powerpoint so I had started trying to learn the automation so the link was handy. Thankfully, the person in charge of that project moved on to bigger and greater fish... or perhaps a Vogon (one can only hope).
