Works well and ended the need for MS Common Controls. I'd offer it, except that it relies on a certain proprietary data characteristic that usually isn't present, but I'm pretty sure there's at least one example of a native treeview here or at the other VFP site...

Thanks for the idea. I have seen a treeview implementation using a grid, maybe it's already older. But I did not like the outcome, it looked too much like a workaround and not like a real treeview the users are used to as for instance in Explorer etc. Perhaps you can share an image to get an idea how that looks like?
