Also, this program shows how to create a TreeNode and specify that it has children nodes. It uses an array creation expression to create a two-element array of TreeNode references. Then: It creates another node and specifies that array reference as the second parameter. The nodes in the array are children nodes. Next in this tutorial, we look at how you can add a double-click event handler to your TreeView program. This means that when the user double-clicks on an item, you can execute code based on that node.

Then, select "MouseDoubleClick" and click twice on that entry. Using SelectedNode property. This returns the selected node if a node is selected. And: After a double-click, a node is selected so this returns a reference to that node in the object model. Using Text property. This returns a reference to the string that represents the text in the TreeNode. Add nod ; treeView1. The After Select event handler is used to populate the text boxes used to display information from the selected node its Name, Text, Tag, and Parent text properties.

The find functions described later highlight all found nodes in response to a search by setting the background color of each matching node to Yellow; the click event handler for the TreeView is used to remove all such highlighting. ToString ; txtText. ToString ; txtTag. ToString ; txtParentName. The method of finding a node by its name is the only find function directly supported by the TreeView; if you want to find a node by something other than its name, you will have to write your own methods to do so.

This click event handler populates an array of nodes with matching names. The find method accepts two arguments; the first argument is the search term and the second is a Boolean value used to determine whether or not child nodes should also be included in the search; in this case, the search term is collected from a text box on the form and the option of searching child nodes is enabled by setting the second argument to true.

Once the collection of nodes is created, each matching node has its background color set to yellow so as to highlight the node in the TreeView. Prior to setting the background color of the matching nodes, all of the other nodes in the TreeView are set back to having white backgrounds by calling the Clear Back Color method. Find txtNodeSearch. This process relies on two separate methods. The first method creates an instance of a tree node collection containing all of the nodes in the form's TreeView control.

Each of the nodes in the collection is passed to a second method Clear Recursive ; this second method is passed the current node.

The Clear Recursive method loops through all of the nodes contained within the passed in nodes node collection and sets the background color of each of those nodes to the color white. Each node is then passed recursively back to the same Clear Recursive method where each node's node collection is processed until there are no more nodes remaining to process. In this way, each node and child node in the entire tree is processed.

While this process is used merely to set each node's background color to white, the same approach may be used whenever the entire tree must be processed; in fact, the remaining search methods will do just that. The form contains a group box used to set a text search term and evoke the method from a button click event handler.

The button click first clears all highlighted nodes by calling the Clear Back Color method. After the nodes are all restored to white backgrounds, the handler calls the Find By Text method; this method works much like the method described for clearing the background color.

The method assembles a collection of the tree view nodes and then passes each node to the recursive method. The find recursive method looks for nodes with text properties matching the search expression, and when a match is found, sets the background color to yellow. Each processed node is passed back to the find recursive method that will continue to examine each node until all of the nodes in the tree have been evaluated. Text tn. These methods work much like the last method with the exception that the matches are determined by their tag values rather than their text values.

The Code: Form 2 - New Node Form The code supplied in the New Node form is used merely to capture the user-supplied values used to populate a newly created node's name, text, and tag properties. The form is displayed as a dialog and appears in response to the user requesting the addition of a new node from the main form of the application.
