I'm not sure that I understand what it should be, exactly. If you want some combination of the tree view and a detail list view/grid, this is a very important question: would be very good to have, but hard to find or create...

chkbox - root size
chkbox - parent size
chkbox - child size

like this format
thanks

This is easy, but ugly. If you really want to have both grid/list view features and tree view features, you would require something which is more difficult:


[x] root           | size | ...
    [x] parent     | size | ...
        [ ] child  | size | ...

or


[x] root           | size | ...
[x]     parent     | size | ...
[ ]         child  | size | ...

Do you see the point? With correctly aligned columns, optional lines, including parent-child relation lines (not shown). I think this is pretty difficult to implement; and I don't know any available open-source component...

If you want, I can easily tell you how to make a simple, non-aligned variant, but I think you know it yourself...
Of course, a fully-fledged control can be built from scratch (based on Control class or something close) using fully-custom graphic rendering, but it would be a really big work: tree view lines and scrolling responding to expanding/collapsing of the nodes would make pretty sophisticated or complex algorithms. If you are interested, I could share some ideas, but I'm not going to develop anything like that in near future, and not only because I don't have enough time, but by some other reasons: I would like even more advanced control, otherwise I would not bother...

Actually I am trying with C# - WPF , so I can implement this with your guidance.
thanks.

I'm not sure. I said that the trivial case is non-aligned, but aligned case would need custom rendering, so I could only try to give some ideas, which may not be enough. A lot of work really...

What do you mean by filename as treeview?

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 9-Apr-13 10:49am

I guess, it can be anything, for example, file path names form a tree (without hard or links symlinks), so this tree can be shown as a "traditional" tree view, plus some extra information on each node.
Please see my comment above...

I found this CodeProject articles:

This work not very strong, but it looks like what you need; it may give you the ideas.

I have got exact view but the only problem is, while expanding toggle button root,parent and child showing in same alignments, so difficult to differentiate.
showing like this:
[]root
[]parent
[]child
instead of,
[]root
parent
child

please give me idea for this.
Thanks,
