If I understand your question correctly, your first tree seems to be okay, but why do you need another tree for the element values? A list view should work as long as you're using it to add/edit/update the attributes for the element selected in the tree.

KA BOOM well that one didn't work. If it does not get you into the hall of shame it will almost certainly drive you nuts.
With WPF/SL is would be a trivial matter 
I have used the treeview/listview but then all your edits are in a column rather than the 2 piece treeviewitem

Check out the several TreeListView articles here on CP, such as: Virtual Mode TreeListView by yetibrain[^].
fyi: some commercial WinForm TreeViews, like IntegralUI TreeView, from Lidor Systems, which I use, easily support WinForm controls within each Node: so it would be trivial to have both a Label and an editable TextBox within each Node.

Hello,
I am facing a strange problem, I have launched a seperate Win Form based process with the help of Process.Start from another process.
That process just dispatched an object which actually contains .NET controls(e.g button,textbox,label,radio button etc) as information (control information I just collected from Injecting other running managed processes). After dispatching , I need to draw these controls on that process having WinForm as main window( as its form based process).
BUT THESE CONTROLS ARE NOT RENDERING ON MAIN FORM WINDOW. Main problem is having with parent control information which is not correct to me.
Take a look at Code
===================
public partial class TestController: Form, IApplicationEventsSink
{
static bool m_ControllerLoadedFirstTime = true;
ITestControl m_TakoControlHandler = null;
public Controller()
{
if (m_ControllerLoadedFirstTime == true)
{
MessageBox.Show("TAKOController called first time");
InitializeComponent();
m_ControllerLoadedFirstTime = false;
}
else
MessageBox.Show("TAKOController called second time");
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Form1_Load");
initEnvironment();
bool bSubscriptionCreated = createSubscription();
if (bSubscriptionCreated == false)
throw new Exception(String.Format("Controller failed to create subscription with Simulator process!!"));
}
public ITestControl CreateControl(CustomControl a_CustomControl)
{
ITestControl TakoControlHandler = Factory.CreateControl(a_CustomControl);
m_TakoControlHandler = TakoControlHandler;
return TakoControlHandler;
}
private void SetProperties(CustomControl a_CustomControl)
{
m_TakoControlHandler.setPropeties(a_CustomControl);
}
public void OnProcess(CustomControl a_CustomControl)
{
MessageBox.Show("OnProcess");
ITestControl TakoHandler = CreateControl(a_CustomControl);
if (TakoHandler != null)
{
SetProperties(a_CustomControl);
m_TakoControlHandler.SetParentHandle(base.Handle);
}
base.Refresh();
base.Update();
base.Show();
}
}
while the control that I need to create and render is :
public class TestButton : Button
{
Control m_Control;
public TestButton()
{
m_Control = new Button();
}
public void SetParentHandle(IntPtr a_ControlHandle)
{
Control ParentControl = Control.FromHandle(a_ContainerHandle);
this.m_Control.Parent = ParentControl;
}
}
any body having any idea? I would be greatly obliged.
Regards

See [WinForms - How do I access/call methods in UI thread from a separate thread without passing a delegate?]
Generally the simplest way to do multithreading in a WinForms application is to uses a BackgroundWorker to do the processing and uses the ReportProgress mechanism to send data to the UI.
Alternatively, Invoke could also be used for inter-thread communication.
The control itself should be on the same thread as the Form.
Most other ways to do things need a deep understanding on how things works and some trials...

Its inter-process communication.
Thread which actually launches the WinForm process is in seperate process and runs independently the execution of WinForm process. But it just launches it and dispatches the custom object to it that's it.
Now inside the WinForm process , when object dispatched to it, this cross process thread(the thread which just came from other process) actually tries to render the controls on its main Form( the Form which actually created by this process).
Note :
I think you are right, as the thread which actually renders the controls in other process , is the thread of another process, and I have to create seperate thread inside Form process and needs to take the data from incoming thread while making the incoming thread back to its own process immediately without doing any thing.

Usman

Controls contain lots of low level native stuff (window handles, fonts, images etc) which are linked to their host process. I don't think you can 'rehome' them in this way. I know I couldn't find a way to make it work when I tried to host plugins for my lobby client within the main window, and that is just cross-AppDomain, not cross-process.

I don't really understand what you are asking here. However, if it fits your needs, you can have one process host the main window of another process, by having the former call SetParent to the latter's main windows. That would take a bit of P/Invoke, passing the second process' Handle as a parameter.
Warning: the result is mostly cosmetic, the second process would show up inside the confines of a first process' window, but they would otherwise remain two distinct and unrelated processes.

As far as I know, UI elements are attached to the process they're created on and cannot be transferred 'on the fly' to a different process. The only exception is that you can use the SetParent Windows API to show a process's main window inside another process's window. I have achieved this with little success. I don't think you can use this technique with controls though.

I have an unbound DataGridView control with two columns. The first one is a DataGridViewButtonColumn and the second DataGridViewTextBoxColumn. When my form is first shown the DGW is empty and the only row is the one with the * in the row header (new/empty row) When I click a cell in the first column an OpenFileDialog gets shown and when I select a file the file name is written in the second cell in the same row. This works, but the row is still marked with * and a new row isn't added.
If I edit the second cell manually, the row header is marked with the pencil sign and a new/empty row is added below. Is there a way to achieve this when I edit a cell programatically? Here is my current code:
private void dataGridView1_CellContentClick(
object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
if (e.ColumnIndex == 0)
{
SelectFile(e.RowIndex);
}
}
private void SelectFile(int rowIndex)
{
if (openFileDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
dataGridView1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[1].Value =
openFileDialog.FileName;
dataGridView1.CurrentCell = dataGridView1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[1];
}
}

I bought secondhand Dell Latitude it came with XP Pro installed. So I get a nasty bug just by opening a infected web page. Needed to reinstall. So call him up and he says bring it down. I figured he would just reinstall his private company disk, which he did, but this time he charged me.
So sure as sh*t mo's later I get another bug. So i say, he's just going to charge me again. So I see these reinstallation disks from Dell. I get one, put it in and it don't boot.
When I was at the shop the first time I seen him using some Chinese disk 'first' to set the bios, I presume. Is this a money maker for these guys? Sell the comps cheap but lock/bypass the bios so them and only them can reinstall.
I know these Dell disks you buy cheap online can only be used once, but the one I got was unopened and still doesn't boot, and yes I did set it to boot from cd.
So what Chinese disk was that and how do I get one?

You don't. You skip that pirated crap and go buy Windows off the shelf and save yourself the trouble.

Pirated!? what do you work for mic$$ or one of the secondhand guys?
There's nothing pirated here. The scum on the internet cost me my first brand-new comp.
So I'm broke, so I buy a cheap secondhand Dell, the scum attack again, this time I save my comp but I still need a new os. Don't even mention Linux.
Now I know this disk exists, it's a bios something, Chinese?
I bought the Dell reinstallation disk legally. It's meant for the comp it came from but those comps are probably dead, so they sell them. Like i said, they only work once.

If you didn't buy the disk from Dell, it wasn't legal.
The Chinese disk is FAR more likely pirated garbage than it was legal.

1. What does this have to do with Windows forms?
2. Quit visiting "those kind of" websites.
3. Go to Dell service center or call them home if you can and get it fixed for once and for sure.
4. Always make sure to buy recovery disk or create one as soon as you buy a new computer.

Quote: Always make sure to buy recovery disk.
If you guy didn't criticise, instead of answering a question, you'ld probably know how to read.
It's a Windows os, so what it's a Dell comp.
Someone else help me out here. The disk I 'bought' for a the Dell with a 'WINDOWS' os, does not boot.

We do know, that's why we are asking what this question has to do with Windows Forms. You bought some junk from somewhere and it does not work; how do you expect people in a programming forum to fix it? As has been suggested before, if you bought it legally from Dell then call them up and ask them to fix it.
The best things in life are not things.

Wrong forum!
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

Excuse me for thinking you 'would be' programmers would know it all.
Now your insulting my comp? That's war.
I'll go elsewhere, thx.
