Treeview questions...

[Ferrari, Eduardo]

Hi Everybody

I have a string that contains part of a directory structure that will be
created in the future. I want to display this future tree on a treeview for
the user see and then approve it.

I was able to populate the first level of the tree, but I'll need some
information to how populate the child levels of the tree.

For example, if I have the directory (not created on the OS yet):

Dir1
Dir1/Dir2
Dir1/Dir2/Dir3

Now I'm using:

iniSlash = path.IndexOf(@"\");
if(iniSlash != -1)
{
return path.Substring(0, iniSlash);
}

So I get the first directory (Dir1) and I add it to the tree:

TreeNode ChildNode = new TreeNode(rootNode);
aNode.Nodes.Add(ChildNode);

Where the rootNode = path (returned from the string).

How can I select the populated nodes and get the child for each node on the
tree?

Someone has something like this ?

Thanks!

Use recursion.
First split the path on '\'. This will give you all folders in an
array:
string[] folders = path.Split('\');

then create a hashtable which stores path to treenode combinations.
So if you have the path c:\foo\bar\bar2, it will result in 3 nodes:
c:\foo, bar and bar2 and you store these 3 nodes as:
c:\foo
c:\foo\bar
c:\foo\bar\bar2

in the hashtable, with the full path to their folder as key and the
treenode as value

then create a small routine which in a loop from front to back renders
a path in the treeview. That routine first splits the folders as above,
then walks from front to back through the array and builds a relative
path from the parent path. So in our example:
c:\foo doesn't have a parent path, as it's the first element in the
array. bar is a folder which has c:\foo as parent path. Grab the node
from the hashtable and add a subnode to that node with the text 'bar',
and store the node under c:\foo\bar in the hashtable.

etc.
