TreeView: Checked Node => Selected Node

I have a TreeView control in an app that works just fine, so far.

I am presently adding a CheckBox to the control to permit the user to select one or many nodes for "processing".
Currently, I can determine which nodes are checked by simply walking the tree (top-to-bottom) and testing the ".Checked" property...after they are already selected (via a separate button click).

Problem:

I want react to the actual NodeCheck event, but I am not able to determine the CurrentNode. "Checking" a node does not actually SELECT the node.

Question:

Is there a way to determine the CHECKED node without walking down the tree and testing the ".Checked" property?

Thanks!

Image if your treeview was called tvDB, u should be able to use the NodeClick handler

Private Sub tvDB_NodeClick(ByVal Node As Object)
If Node.Text = Node.Key Then
msgbox = "Top Root"
Else
Msgbox "Node.Text = " & Node.Text & vbcrlf & "Key is " & Node.Key
End If
End Sub

urm, perhaps NodeClick may not work for what you want
Try it, see if you get a msgbox appearing

Can I suggest u try the other handlers?

the other one which checks for expansion is _Expand

there is also NodeCheck

Thanks rr,

I am already trapping the NodeCheck event, but this does not seem to provide the actual Node info (thus my question).

The NodeClick event is not triggered by the NodeCheck event.

Dang it,

It's always EASIER than I think it should be:

Private Sub TreeView_NodeCheck(ByVal Node As Object)
If Node.Checked Then
MsgBox "Node " & Node.Text & " was checked"
Else
MsgBox "Node " & Node.Text & " was unchecked"
End If
End Sub

bear in mind, Expand is only when you click on the + symbol
but I guess u already knew that!

I'll accept rr's comments, though my final solution was found elsewhere.

As noted above:

Private Sub TreeView_NodeCheck(ByVal Node As Object)
If Node.Checked Then
MsgBox "Node " & Node.Text & " was checked"
Else
MsgBox "Node " & Node.Text & " was unchecked"
End If
End Sub

thanks for the acceptance, but you know if you feel one has not provided you with a satisfactory answer or you have found the solution yourself, u have the right to request a refund and close the question - u just need to post in the community support section.

but eh, glad its all working for you though. Good luck with the rest of your venture!
