I'm working on a program that allows me to edit XML data in a DataGridView. I have most everything working but I don't like my current TreeView Structure.
I load the XML data into a DataSet and edit it there, so that is what I'd prefer to base my TreeView on. I've tried a few things such as..
Private Sub updateTree()
'Clear All Previous TreeView Nodes
TreeView1.Nodes.Clear()
'Loop Through XML Nodes and Add them to the Tree
For Each table As DataTable In ds.Tables
Dim node As New TreeNode(table.TableName)
If table.ChildRelations.Count = 0 Then
node.Text = table.TableName
node.Tag = table.TableName
TreeView1.Nodes.Add(node)
Else
node.Tag = 开发者_开发知识库table.TableName
node.Text = table.TableName & " - No Child Objects"
TreeView1.Nodes.Add(node)
End If
Next
End Sub
What I'd really like to have is a tree view that shows the Parent Child objects nested. I'm not sure exactly how to accomplish that in this case... Any ideas?? I found this, article, but don't have many more leads...
Adding Nested Treeview Nodes in VB.NET?
Thanks.
I found a way to problematically accomplish what I was trying to do. I figured that because the DataSet includes the parent child relationships, I could use those to build my treeview.
A DataSet includes two Properties, parent relations and child relations. I the count on those to determine where they were at in the relationship tree. Using an if statement, I first Populate the Parent Node, because the top Parent has no Parent. Then I check to see if there is a child to the parent, and populate those, lastly, I use a counter to populate the grandchild node.
'Sub for calling a treeview update when needed
Private Sub updateTree()
'Clear All Previous TreeView Nodes
TreeView1.Nodes.Clear()
'Loop Through the database examining the Parent child relationship and Add the nodes to the Tree
Dim i As Integer = 0
For Each table As DataTable In ds.Tables
Dim node As New TreeNode(table.TableName)
If table.ParentRelations.Count = 0 Then
node.Text = table.TableName & " -Parent"
node.Tag = table.TableName
TreeView1.Nodes.Add(node)
ElseIf table.ParentRelations.Count = 1 And table.ChildRelations.Count = 1 Then
node.Tag = table.TableName
node.Text = table.TableName & "-Child"
TreeView1.Nodes(0).Nodes.Add(node)
ElseIf table.ChildRelations.Count = 0 And table.ParentRelations.Count = 1 Then
node.Tag = table.TableName
node.Text = table.TableName & "-Grandchild"
TreeView1.Nodes(0).Nodes(i).Nodes.Add(node)
i += 1
End If
Next
As always, if anyone has a better idea, I'm all ears:)
Thanks....
