Treeview level

[Peter Lameijn]

Is there a simple way to determine on which tree level you are when a tree-part is clicked on a TreeView? (Or do I have to use Treeview_Getparent to determine the level)
I want to restrict the tree to 4 levels. (users may not add more levels)
Also: how to detemine the number of entries on a tree-node. (need to limit number of entries). Tried Treeview_GetnextItem, but always get all child items of a node as result.
(I only want to get one child node's number of entries; and not from sub-nodes from that child)
Another question that arises: I've got 2 listviews an 2 treeviews. They all use the same icons. Is it possible to share one imagelist between those controls, or do I have to create four (identical) imagelists?
Seems a waste of resources....

I do not know of any other way than to climb up the tree

 
'===========================================================================
Function NumParent(Byval hWnd As Long, Byval hItem As Long) As Long
    ' hWnd is the treeview control id
    ' hItem is the currently selected treeview node
    Local hParent As Long
    Local hJunk As Long
    Local nLevel As Long
    nLevel = 0
    hParent = TreeView_GetParent(hWnd,hItem)
    Do While hParent
        Incr nLevel
        hJunk = hParent
        hParent = TreeView_GetParent(hWnd,hJunk)
    Loop
    Function = nLevel
End Function
'===========================================================================

As far as the total number of nodes, I believe that you will have to keep a copy of the tree in an array and keep track of the total number of array elements. I would suggest using the following structure for the array:

 
LevelA1
\LevelB1
\LevelB2
\\LevelC1
\\\LevelD1
LevelA2
\LevelB3
\\LevelC2
\\\LevelD2

In my experience this was the easiest to visualize. You can try to use Array Insert and Array Delete to update the array. As far as the images, I do not use them so I would just try it, but it could introduce subtle bugs in a larger program.
