That's a pretty hard thing to do.
No i write custom controls and on delete all i need to handle the objects stored in each item.
From now on i keep using TVI_ROOT as it should.

Would like to end this doubt.

Wish I could help, but having tangled with this one before I now destroy the TV window and recreate it, which I assume allows windows to clean up its own mess. Do I assume too much?

TVM_DELETEITEM

In the helpfile it's cleary stated i should use TVI_ROOT as param but long time ago i had a GPF on this and i always used 0 and seems to work well.
To do the right thing.. is TVI_ROOT a valid option or are there reasons to keep using 0?

Maybe this be related to Windows 98 or an older PB compiler possibly having TVI_ROOT not declared being a DWORD constant or so?
Would like to end this doubt.
