treeview listview question

[archer_coal]

can you get a file path from a treeview without all the file info along with it?

 

example using double click

 

Private Sub TreeView1_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TreeView1.DoubleClick
   
Dim pth as String
pth  = TreeView1.SelectedNode.Text

msgbox(pth)

End Sub

 

Returns the full path and file size in bytes

i just want the path

any help?

[dynamic_sysop]

what exactly have you got stored in the treeview?

are you wanting to say click on an item like this :

"i'm some text in a treeview"

and get back this :

"i'm some text"

re

 

its a directory tree structure

 

user clicks on a file i want it to return the file path without the file size

i may just need to parse the Path string but it seems a bit sloppy to me to need to do that.

Or should i be using a listview and if so how do i populate a listview with files from a treeview?
