Backgroundworke r to populate a TreeView

All,

I have a treeview on my form that has a lot of nodes on it. I would
like to populate this treeview on another thread so my form will still
paint while it is being populated.

I have looked at the Backgroundworke r object (and dragged one onto my
form) and several other newsgroup threads. What I don't understand is
that I can't access the treeview control in the sub that is handling
the DoWork event (I get the error that I can't access a control that
was created on a different thread.). How do I add my nodes to the
control if it is on a different thread. I'm probably missing something
obvious here!

Please help!

Thanks in advance!

if you are on .NET 2.0 why not just use a virtual list view? it would let
you have virtualy unlimited number of nodes show up instantly

Hi Dave,

Before looking at the Backgroundworke r class of .NET 2.0, take a look at the
basics and once you understand it you can take advantage of that class of
..NET 2.0:

Hi, I'm trying to populate a TreeView from an existing and filled in ListView (lvwBuild). lvwBuild is a basic two column listview which can have any number of rows. I would like the first column of lvwBuild to be a node and the second column to be a branch on the TreeView (hopefully I have the syntax correct). I've been researching how to do this but have come up empty. I'm guessing that you would fill an array from lvwBuild and...

I have an application that creates a pretty intensive TreeView at startup time. I had the program running on a single thread sucessfully, but the startup time was a bit excessive. When the application starts up it is a requirement for the user to log on, so in my magical wisdom, I thought shove all this processing on another thread, so it loads while the user logs on. I have all the code running on the thread OK, but I cannot figure out how...
