There has been a lot of discussion lately about extending the treeview control to allow finding a node by key rather than by index. Everyone seems to agree that a hashtable is needed to accomplish this. Also, there is a KB article ( http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;311318) purporting to show you how to extend the treenode to include a key. This article seems to be nearly useless to me, as (despite adding a DictionaryEntry type property to the treenode) it ends up using a looping function in the extended treeview's CLIENT code to find the node.
Again, it seems everyone agrees that a hashtable is needed. But I don't understand how to do it. I would THINK that I need to override the TreeNodeCollect ion's Add method to not only add the node to the collection, but also add a (key, index) pair to a hashtable-type property. But I can't seem to do this because replacing a treeview's TreeNodeCollect ion with an extended TreeNodeCollect ion requires inheriting the TreeNodeCollect ion and then calling its New(Owner as TreeNode) sub, which is private.
Is there something I'm missing here? Since I've clearly been unable to understand how to implement the solution that appears to be clear to others, please include an explicit example.
Thanks a lot.

I think the easiest way for you would be to add methods like
AddNode/RemoveNode/LookupNode to treeview and replace standard calls
treeview.Nodes. Add/Remove/RemoveAt n your code with new ones. New methods
will update / search your hashtable in addition to Nodes updates. Not 100%
foolproof, but should alleviate your woes when implemented carefully.
I don't see now the way how to extend TreeNodeCollect ion for standard
TreeView. Maybe somebody else knows?

Basically, what you are missing I think is that in general I and perhaps
others don't bother deriving from TreeNodeCollect ion. Its rather more
complex and convoluted than what you need.
Instead, what I do is place a tree view "dock filled" on a form, then in the
code section I add a hashtable, followed by "Add", "Remove", "GetNode"
methods to the form. Any clients of the tree have to execute methods
through the form object, not actually on the treeview itself (although I
guess you could expose the TreeView control itself from the form).

Many thanks for making the A97 version of the treeview w/o activex

I have taken it down a different path and ended up doing almost
everything differently.
It now has, built in, the ability to have 12 levels, not just 3. The

With the VB6 TreeView, you could identify a node with a key for quick access
to it.
In .NET there is no "keys" property.
Can someone tell me the equivilent of the keys property?

Greetings,
I'm creating a little program that acts as a glorified Registry explorer.
The TreeView doesn't allow you to show a plus sign unless a node has child
nodes, so I need to determine whether a registry key has subkeys and add a
dummy childnode. The way I'm doing this is to populate the child nodes as
the parent is expanded.
However, there are some serious performance implications. First, when I
pouplate the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT,...

Hi,
I have a TreeView and this is my node style:
<asp:TreeNodeStyle ForeColor = "#000000" Font-Size="9px" Font-Bold="false"
Width="100px" NodeSpacing="3px" />
The problem is the expand button (+) resides right at the middle of
multi-line text. Can I make the expand button top align instead of middle

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
