Windows Forms: Multi-Column TreeView Management

Question

Is there a way to have multiple columns in a TreeView control?

Answer 1

No, the standard TreeView does not allow columns; what you are looking for is usually called a TreeListView. Therefore, you will need a custom control.

There are many things in CodeProject:

• TreeListView control (Lite).
• TreeListView (Simple)
• TreeListView to complete all TreeListViews.

Personally, I would recommend TreeViewAdv at SourceForge

Answer 2

Depending on your requirements, you might also think of a datagridview with built-in treeview functions:
