Loop through nodes of tree view from current selected

Question

I have a tree view that has been built fine with no issues.

Is their a way to start looping through the nodes at the current selected node instead of looping through all of them?

TreeNodeCollection nodes = treeView.Nodes;
   foreach (TreeNode n in nodes)
   {

   }

Answer 1

You could use an extension method to do this:

public static class TreeViewEx
{
    public static List<TreeNode> GetAllNodes(this TreeNode Node)
    {
        List<TreeNode> list = new List<TreeNode>();
        list.Add(Node);
        foreach (TreeNode n in Node.Nodes)
        list.AddRange(GetAllNodes(n));
        return list;
    }
}

Use it like this:

TreeNode node = myTree.SelectedNode;
List<TreeNode> list = node.GetAllNodes();

I should point out that the returned List will include the starting node (the one you selected originally).

This may help head you in the right direction you would need to check each child node to see if they had children:

    TreeView treeView = new TreeView();
    TreeNode parentNode = treeView.SelectedNode;

    if (parentNode.GetNodeCount(true) > 0)
    {
        foreach (TreeNode childNodes in parentNode.Nodes)
        {
            //// do stuff with nodes.
        }
    }
