Hugo,
Tx for your response

What I was looking for was something like this
1. Load treeview from dbf (dbf has 4 fields: key,parent,text,note)
2. Display treeview Allowing end user to add/edit any node (text) or note
Yes the bldtree.scx does all except the using a 4th field (note) so I put the note field into node.tag and I have an extra textedit box for displaying the field from the dbf. My problem is how do I update the dbf when end user adds or edits a node.
Step 3. writing out the node to a new dbf is not a problem if I can just figure out step 2...
Sorry new to VFP 6.0 so not used to all its nuiances.

>Generally I build the tree from a table/cursor (or you [can] create one for this purpose), so you don't need to add any properties to the nodes, just fields to the table/cursor and then using, the node key to access the table/cursor, you can refresh your data.
