Parent Property (Node Object)

See Also    Example    Applies To

Returns or sets the parent object of a Node object. Available only at run time.

Syntax

object.Parent[ = node]

The Parent property syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
node	A Node object that becomes the parent of the object.

Remarks

At run time, an error occurs if you set this property to an object that creates a loop. For example, you cannot set any Node to become a child Node of its own descendants.

The Child, FirstSibling, LastSibling, Previous, Parent, Next, and Root properties all return a reference to another Node object. Therefore, you can simultaneously reference and perform operations on a Node, as follows:

With TreeView1.Nodes(x).Parent
   .Text = "New text"
   .Key = "New key"
   .SelectedImage = 3
End With

You can also set an object variable to the referenced Node, as follows:

Dim NodParent As Node
' Get a reference to the parent of Node x.
Set NodParent = TreeView1.Nodes(x).Parent
' Use this reference to perform operations on the Parent Node.
With nodParent
   .Text = "New text"   '  Change the text.
   .Key = "New key"   ' Change key.
   .SelectedImage = 3   ' Change SelectedImage.
End With
