Public ReadOnly Property Nodes As TreeNodeCollection

Property Value

TreeNodeCollection

A TreeNodeCollection that represents the tree nodes assigned to the tree view control.

Examples

The following code example displays customer information in a TreeView control. The root tree nodes display customer names, and the child tree nodes display the order numbers assigned to each customer. In this example, 1,000 customers are displayed with 15 orders each. The repainting of the TreeView is suppressed by using the BeginUpdate and EndUpdate methods, and a wait Cursor is displayed while the TreeView creates and paints the TreeNode objects. This example requires that you have a Customer object that can hold a collection of Order objects. It also requires that you have created an instance of a TreeView control on a Form.

Remarks

The Nodes property holds a collection of TreeNode objects, each of which has a Nodes property that can contain its own TreeNodeCollection. This nesting of tree nodes can make it difficult to navigate a tree structure, but the FullPath property makes it easier to determine your location within the tree structure.
