Expanding a tree view with a path

James,

This seems a little more complicated than it should have to be.

Basically, what you have to do is parse apart the full path, delimited
by the value in the PathSeparator property. Then, you would take Nodes
property on the TreeView, and look for the first key (through the IndexOfKey
method). Then, you take that node, and look for the next key in the
collection of TreeNode instances returned from Node.

Once you have the final node, you can call the EnsureVisible method on
the last node, and then it will expose the node in the tree.

Hope this helps.

I have a tree view with a root, 3 noodes(1,2,3) each having one sub node.

I drill down to a node.

I get the path by saying treeView1.selec tedNode.fullpat h and assign it to
a
variable.

If I redraw the tree, or close it up and want to expand the same node
again,
can i do this via the path?

Thank you kindly.

I cannot seem to see an index of key mathod or an ensure visible method.
I have this so far.

string path = treeView1.Selec tedNode.FullPat h;
string delimit = @"\";
char [] delimiter = delimit.ToCharA rray();
string [] split = null;

split = path.Split( delimiter );

int treeNodeIndex;
TreeNode t = new TreeNode( split[0].ToString());
treeNodeIndex= treeView1.Nodes[0].Nodes.IndexOf( t );

thanks

James,

You have to call the IndexOfKey method, passing the current element in
split that you are looking at.

As i said earlier, i cannot see these methods you are refering to anywhere.
Is this a .net2 feature?
