TreeView Node Tag

Hi Experts,

I have a treeview in my program and wanted to add more details to a node so i created a structure which i than attached to each node. The problem i am having is that i am not sure how to refer back to the values stored on the tag. I assumed it would just be something like: node.tag.name but this does not work.

Here is my code:

Private Structure ProductStruc
Friend Name As String
Friend Type As String
Friend Details As String
Friend Notes As String
Friend Qty As Integer
Friend IsAddition As Boolean
End Structure

Dim NodeInfo As ProductStruc
NodeInfo.Details = Trim(DetailsTXT.Text)
NodeInfo.IsAddition = IsAddition
NodeInfo.Name = Trim(ProductCMB.Text)
NodeInfo.Notes = Trim(ProdNotesTXT.Text)
NodeInfo.Qty = QuantityNUM.Value
NodeInfo.Type = Trim(ProdTypeCMB.Text)

CurComputerNode = ProdView.Nodes.Add(Trim(DetailsTXT.Text))
CurComputerNode.Tag = NodeInfo

Cheers for any help!

All you have to do to get what you want is ctype(CurComputerNode.Tag ,NodeInfo).Name
or

dim ni as NodeInfo = ProdView.SelectedNode.tag
'Then use ni as you like .... it is all a matter of casting tag to the right type :)

hope this helps :)

dim NodeDetails

NodeDetails = ProdView.SelectedItem.tag

Msgbox NodeDetails
