Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the TreeViewNodeSorter property to sort nodes from smallest to largest. To run this example, paste the following code into a Windows Form and call InitializeTreeView1 from the form's constructor or Load event handler.

    // Create a node sorter that implements the IComparer interface.
private:
    ref class NodeSorter : public IComparer
    {
        // Compare the length of the strings, or the strings
        // themselves, if they are the same length.
    public:
        virtual int Compare(Object^ x, Object^ y)
        {
            TreeNode^ tx = (TreeNode^)x;
            TreeNode^ ty = (TreeNode^)y;

            // Compare the length of the strings, returning the difference.
            if (tx->Text->Length != ty->Text->Length)
            {
                return (tx->Text->Length - ty->Text->Length);
            }

            // If they are the same length, call Compare.
            return String::Compare(tx->Text, ty->Text);
        }
    };

    // Declare the TreeView.
private:
    TreeView^ initialTreeView;
private:
    TextBox^ displayNodes;
private:
    Button^ setSorter;

private:
    void InitializeInitialTreeView()
    {
        // Create the TreeView

        // Create the button and set some basic properties.
        setSorter = gcnew Button();
        setSorter->Location = Point(205, 138);
        setSorter->Text = "Set Sorter";

        // Handle the click event for the button.
        setSorter->Click += gcnew EventHandler(this, 
            &TreeViewWhidbeyMembersExample::SetSorter_Click);

        // Create the root nodes.
        TreeNode^ docNode = gcnew TreeNode("Documents");
        TreeNode^ spreadSheetNode = gcnew TreeNode("Spreadsheets");

Remarks

The custom sort is applied when the TreeViewNodeSorter is set.

If a TreeNode label is changed, you can call the Sort method to sort the items again with the custom sorter specified by the TreeViewNodeSorter property.

Note

The default sorter uses the Compare method based on the CurrentCulture specified by the application. This means that TreeNode objects with equal value are kept in the order in which they were added to the TreeView control. This behavior may be different if a custom sort is applied.
