TreeView Hiding Top Node

Hi,

How can I hide the top node of a TreeView so it doesn't show up? Currently I have the following:

Private Function FillTree(MyFolder)
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Dim target_folder As Folder
Dim target_node As Node
Dim txt As String

Screen.MousePointer = vbHourglass
trvResults.Visible = False
DoEvents

trvResults.Nodes.Clear

Set fso = New FileSystemObject
Set target_folder = fso.GetFolder(MyFolder)

txt = target_folder.ParentFolder & "\" & target_folder.Name
Set target_node = trvResults.Nodes.Add(, , , txt)
target_node.Expanded = True

ListFileInfo trvResults, target_node, target_folder

trvResults.Visible = True
trvResults.Enabled = False
Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault

End Function

Private Sub ListFileInfo(ByVal trv As TreeView, ByVal parent_node As Node, ByVal parent_folder As Folder)
Dim txt As String
Dim child_folder As Folder
Dim child_file As File
Dim child_node As Node

' Search subdirectories.
For Each child_folder In parent_folder.SubFolders
txt = child_folder.Name
Set child_node = trv.Nodes.Add( _
parent_node, tvwChild, , txt)
ListFileInfo trv, child_node, child_folder
Next child_folder

' List the files.
For Each child_file In parent_folder.Files
txt = child_file.Name
trv.Nodes.Add parent_node, tvwChild, , txt
Next child_file
'Node1.Expanded = True
End Sub

------------------
As you can see, the file structure is like this:
MYFolderPath
--subfolder1
--subfolder2
--file1
--file2

I would like to delete MYFolderPath and just show everything underneath. Any ideas?

Thank you,
TK

Hi,

I couldn't get this to work. While "txt" shows the correct ParentFolder path, it seems to get lost on the subsequent lines of code, and "trvResults.Visible" never becomes true...? Please see my code below and let me know what might be wrong.

Thanks for your help!

Set fso = New FileSystemObject
Set target_folder = fso.GetFolder(MyFolder)

txt = target_folder.ParentFolder & "\" & target_folder.Name
'MsgBox ("txt = " & txt) '--shows up with correct path
Set target_node = trvResults.Nodes.Add(, , , txt)
target_node.Expanded = True

ListFileInfo trvResults, Nothing, target_folder

trvResults.Visible = True
trvResults.Enabled = False
Screen.MousePointer = vbDefault

Hi again!

Nevermind, I figured out I just needed to add the "If" statement:

If parent_node Is Nothing Then
Set child_node = trv.Nodes.Add( _
, , , txt)
Else
Set child_node = trv.Nodes.Add( _
parent_node, tvwChild, , txt)
End If

to the child_file also (in addition to the child_node).

It works.... Thanks for your help!
