Navigating Treeview

How do I navigate up the path from a child node. I need to get the path from the root of the tree to the farthest child, but I need to start at the child.

This is the second time I've asked this question. I guess I wasn't clear the first time.

By farthest, do you mean the deepest child?? The one with the
longest search path?? I don't see how you'll be able to search for the child with the deepest search path starting at an arbitrary child. If you start at the root, sure.

I suppose one could write an algorithm to start at all leaf nodes then progress to the root, finally giving you the leaf node (child) that had the longest path.

I don't know if this will work so its hard to grade. Thanks for the help. I didn't see parent in the treenodes property. How did you figure out it had a parent property?
Thanks again.

Great answer. I would like to pay for this information. The answer is simple but I am learning the object part of Delphi and am struggling. It helped a lot.

Try it out first, and then grade it. That's what you ought to do for all questions. If not, I could just give you a nonsense answer, and after grading it there's nothing you can do about it.

I looked in the source ;)
