Twin TreeView
-
I am working on a proposal for am Xml Universal Message Editor (XUME). I am considering a tree based interface for the data entry. I cant see an example of a treeview with both a lablel and textbox per node. I am considering a twin tree approach, the left tree will have the element names as standard label nodes, the right tree will be textboxes for the elemment values. There will be no visible controls on the right side tree, it will take all its queues form the left side tree, and the user will perceive it as a single tree. Have I a plan, or is this a one way ticket to the hall of shame?

If I understand your question correctly, your first tree seems to be okay, but why do you need another tree for the element values? A list view should work as long as you're using it to add/edit/update the attributes for the element selected in the tree.

KA BOOM well that one didn't work. If it does not get you into the hall of shame it will almost certainly drive you nuts. With WPF/SL is would be a trivial matter :laugh: I have used the treeview/listview but then all your edits are in a column rather than the 2 piece treeviewitem
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

There may well be an article in there if I can make it happen

Check out the several TreeListView articles here on CP, such as: Virtual Mode TreeListView by yetibrain[^]. fyi: some commercial WinForm TreeViews, like IntegralUI TreeView, from Lidor Systems, which I use, easily support WinForm controls within each Node: so it would be trivial to have both a Label and an editable TextBox within each Node. best, Bill
