Hi John,

Glad it helped. I know I had a heck of a time figuring out how to use this control but it was worth the effort.

The example was clipped from a treeview I use to display a complex bill of material. When SelectedItem.Index = 1 you are at the top of the tree and trying to access node.parent.text generates an error since there is no parent to access.
