I have only one button that does both, expand or collapse. As soon as you set the node's expand property to .t. or .f. it should expand or collapse.
You could set breakpoints on
_screen.activeform.oletree.nodes[1].expanded = .f.
_screen.activeform.oletree.nodes[2].expanded = .f.
(copy these in the watch window in the Debugger, and double click on the left grey band, or use the Breakpoints under Tools in the Debugger)
You should be able to find out when nodes are re-set to collapsed after your button code expands all nodes.
