3/28/2014

This message expands or collapses the list of child items, if any, associated with the specified parent item. You can send this message explicitly or by using the TreeView_Expand macro.

Syntax

TVM_EXPAND wParam = (WPARAM)(UINT) flag; 
    lParam = (LPARAM)(HTREEITEM) hitem;

Parameters

  • flag
    Action flag. It is one or more of the following values.

    Value

    Description

    TVE_COLLAPSE

    Collapses the list.

    TVE_COLLAPSERESET

    Collapses the list and removes the child items. This flag must be used with the TVE_COLLAPSE flag.

    TVE_EXPAND

    Expands the list.

    TVE_EXPANDPARTIAL

    Partially expands the list. In this state, the child items are visible and the parent item's plus symbol is displayed. This flag must be used in combination with the TVE_EXPAND flag.

    TVE_TOGGLE

    Collapses the list if it is expanded or expands it if it is collapsed.
  • hitem
    Handle to the parent item to expand or collapse.

Return Value

Nonzero indicates that a change took place. Zero indicates otherwise.

Remarks

When the TVE_EXPANDPARTIAL flag is set, the child items are visible and the plus (+) for the parent item is displayed. This flag must be used in combination with the TVE_EXPAND flag.

The TVM_EXPAND message will cause the TVN_ITEMEXPANDING and TVN_ITEMEXPANDED messages to be generated if the item being expanded does not have the TVIS_EXPANDEDONCE state bit set. This state gets set when a parent item is expanded for the first time. Using TVE_COLLAPSE and TVE_COLLAPSERESET with TVM_EXPAND will cause the TVIS_EXPANDEDONCE state to be reset.
