Would expand all subnodes of selected node.

Thanks for replying Cetin, I am getting an OLE Error Code 0x8002006: Unknown Name when I call the expand routine in my command button as follows:

* Expand.click
With thisform.OleTreeView
 .ExpandAll(.SelectedItem.Index)
Endwith

I did put your sample code in procedure. I don't have to really do anything in the OleTreeView.nodeclick since .SelectedItem.Index should be already picked up from Thisform.OleTreeView when I select a node, right? I have create always methods and have never used procedures, .ExpandAll should have worked, but apparently it doesn't seem to like it.

Thanks
