can I find a description of treeview somewhere? A manual (horror)?
I searched on MSDN but only fond some rudimentory stuff.the object browser also does not reveal much.
And my generation did not get this with the mothermilk like some of you young ones <g>

Thanks for all you help. ALl I want to do is to allow users to rearrange things visually. I can do it by haveing them enter numbers in a textbox. But that is not so intuitive

Thanks
