TreeView.CollapseAll Method

Definition

Collapses all the tree nodes.

public:
 void CollapseAll();
public void CollapseAll ();
member this.CollapseAll : unit -> unit
Public Sub CollapseAll ()

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to change the collapse state of a TreeView so that all the checked nodes are visible. First, all the nodes are collapsed, and a handler is added for the BeforeExpand event. Next, all the nodes are expanded. The BeforeExpand event handler determines whether a given node has child nodes that are checked. If a node does not have checked children, the expansion is canceled for that node. In order to allow standard node expansion when the plus sign next to a node is clicked, the BeforeExpand event handler is then removed.

This behavior can also be implemented by handling the BeforeCollapse event, as illustrated in the example for that topic.

For the complete example, see the CheckBoxes reference topic.

private:
   void showCheckedNodesButton_Click( Object^ /*sender*/, EventArgs^ /*e*/ )
   {
      // Disable redrawing of treeView1 to prevent flickering 
      // while changes are made.
      treeView1->BeginUpdate();
      
      // Collapse all nodes of treeView1.
      treeView1->CollapseAll();
      
      // Add the checkForCheckedChildren event handler to the BeforeExpand event.
      treeView1->BeforeExpand += checkForCheckedChildren;
      
      // Expand all nodes of treeView1. Nodes without checked children are 
      // prevented from expanding by the checkForCheckedChildren event handler.
      treeView1->ExpandAll();
      
      // Remove the checkForCheckedChildren event handler from the BeforeExpand 
      // event so manual node expansion will work correctly.
      treeView1->BeforeExpand -= checkForCheckedChildren;
      
      // Enable redrawing of treeView1.
      treeView1->EndUpdate();

Remarks

The CollapseAll method collapses all the TreeNode objects, which includes all the child tree nodes, that are in the TreeView control.

Note

The state of a TreeNode persists. For example, suppose that you call the Expand method for a root tree node. If the child tree nodes were not previously collapsed, they will appear in their previously-expanded state. Calling the CollapseAll method ensures that all the tree nodes appear in the collapsed state.
