Need help making nodes in VB.net 2012
I am looking to populate the folders of a windows machines' local drive (or network drive) and put check boxes in the folders that I have selected. From there I want to do run some code that I have already written to move files from the selected folders.
I have looked high and low on the web for this but I can't seem to find out how to do it. I have found this one website that sells software that allows it but I feel that it should be able to be done without the extra software.
The picture I have attached is also from that site.
The site is.

What type of application are you working with?
ASKER
I am using Visual Studio 2012 and coding in Visual Basic.
Is the application a Windows Forms, WPF, or web site?
ASKER
Windows forms application.
That link that you posted shows a custom FolderView, which extends and enhances the System.Windows.Forms.Folde rBrowserDi alog control, and you are looking for a freeware version that does the same thing as FolderView?
I haven't seen anything freeware, but that doesn't mean that something doesn't exist.

I have found this plugin that seems as closest as I am going to get without purchasing that software.

Also found this but I am not sure how to use it yet.

Well i would prefer check boxes but as long as I can select multiple folders and get the same results I am ok with that. I will look at this checkboxes property that you sent me. I don't think I came across that link in my searching.
