If you want populate the tree all at once, I recommend a recursive function to do this... heres some psuedocode:

 

functon addentry(rootnode as node, rootpath as string)

 

get an array of each directory and enter it as a child

in this node (be sure to grab a reference to the node you

created just in case you have to use it when doing a

recursive call)

 

on each child node you add to this 'rootnode' you

can check if the directory you are adding has any sub-

directories.. if it does, have the function call ITSELF

passing the child node and the rootpath + the directory

name added to the end of it... otherwise just exit out of

the function when you are done adding entries

 

end function

 

If you are reading a large drive though, the above article solves

that problem... because populating all at once isnt neccisary unless you really need it :)

 

hope that helped ...
