I need to expand my treeview based on a fullpath in c#
My tree view has 2 nodes which are collapsed and I want to expand Node A to number 3
so I have the fullpath of node A\1\2\3.
How can I step through and open each node based of the fullpath? Also the length of the fullpath may change, so i may need to open node be to level 6. So it needs to be done based on the fullpath. Any help would be great.
Node A
1
2
3
Node B
1
2
3
4 5 6
This is what I've tried:
TreeNode [] n= treeView1.Nodes.Find(search, true);
if (n.Length > 0)
found = true;
treeView1.Nodes[t].Collapse();
foreach (TreeNode p in n) {
string[] a = p.FullPath.Split('\\');
foreach (string b in a) {
treeView1.SelectedNode = treeView1.Nodes[b];
treeView1.SelectedNode.Expand();
I'm sorry for not commenting on above answer given by S3ddi9 which is CORRECT. I'm only adding something.
So the answer given by S3ddi9
...
string path = @"A\1\2\";
var path_list = path.Split('\\').ToList();
foreach (TreeNode node in treeView1.Nodes)
if (node.Text == path_list[0])
ExpandMyLitleBoys(node, path_list);
}
private void ExpandMyLitleBoys(TreeNode node, List<string> path)
{
path.RemoveAt(0);
node.Expand();
if (path.Count == 0)
return;
foreach (TreeNode mynode in node.Nodes)
if (mynode.Text == path[0])
{
ExpandMyLitleBoys(mynode, path); //recursive call
break; //this was missing in earlier answer
}
}
Does work, BUT you must add a BREAK (I marked it), because if the for loop doesn't finish, return; won't return you to your main function and it will throw you an exception because path[0] is null.
