How to determine the displayable width of a treeview item ?

Hi,

I have a treeview on a form, with several nodes, on several level.
Every node has a text associated to it. That text can be quite
long,and sometimes, is longer than the width of the treeview. As a
consequence, an horizontal scrollbar is displayed :-/
What I want is to have *all* text displayed at once.

I thought about 2 solutions :

* multiline treeview item, is that possible ?

* A property, method, or something, that gives, from treeview width,
font size and node level, the number of characters that actually can
be displayed on each line. From that, I could split my text into
several strings and add as many nodes as required to see all text at
once. But that solution isn't 100% clean or reliale...

How would you do that ? Thanks!

Fred

Using VS.NET 2003, VB: I have a TreeView object with lots of nodes. The treeview is docked on the left side of my main from in a splitter. I want to set the splitter's initial width to allow all the treeViews' nodes' labels to be visible. The algorithm is simple, for each node in the tree view compare node's label with the max width, and so on. The problem that I've got is how do I discover the width of a TreeView's label? All I can find...

Hello, I knew how to use the treeview under VB6. After migrating to .NET, well, I'm lost. I try to add a new node, either to the same level or as a child to a selected node in the treeview. However, either it only add it to the root level or it only add it on level below, doesn't matter what I select. And in some case, I just get an exception.

I'm building a web application that is analogous to the Windows XP file explorer in function. The left column contains a TreeView, and the right column a DataGrid populated by selecting TreeView nodes. The TreeView populates dynamically as there are a significant number of nodes. The DataGrid displays both the items and the nodes from the TreeView. Using the explorer analogy this means the TreeView shows folders, and the DataGrid folders...

Hi, I am a self taught VBA programmer, and I'm trying to learn VB2005 Express (The price was right). I like the look of the treeview control, and I'd like to use it as a menu system for my users, the options they are allowed to see are all different and specified in a MSACCESS table. Can I populate a Treeview directly from my MSAccess table ? I can then of course filter the table to only show that users options.

I have a program where you click an item on the TreeView on the left, and then work with whatever pops up on the right. There are many entries on the TreeView, and when you click something on the right, the item on the TreeView is no longer highlighted, making it hard to keep track of which item you clicked on the TreeView. I want the item clicked on in the TreeView to turn BOLD, or get underlined, or change color or something. Just so...
