C# Winform treeview and display UI for each node

[Ben]

Hi,

Is it possible to create a C# Winform that display a treeview on the
left hand side and a different UI form/page with textboxes and labels
for each node on the right hand side? For example, if a user click
node1, it will show a UI on the right, node2 will show another UI
design on the right.

How should I go about doing this?

Many thanks and Happy New Year.

One way could be to:

Divide your form into two separate portions using a SplitContainer.
Use container controls such as Layout panels on the right side and
load panels according to the selected node in the TreeView.

Like what Cerebrus mentioned earlier, use the panels. They will be the
"parent" of your
UI. Design your GUI using the "User Control" (right-click on your
*.csproj file, select "Add", then "New Item").

Happy coding!

Yes you can create a treeview that will display different UI.

Create Treeview tvList

Something like this

string xmlName="HeadLine.xml";

private void CreateTree(String xmlName)

    {

        

        XmlDocument XmlDoc = new XmlDocument();

        XmlDoc.Load(Server.MapPath("TreeXml\\" + xmlName));

        tvList.Nodes.Clear();

        foreach (XmlNode node in XmlDoc.ChildNodes[0].ChildNodes)

        {

            TreeNode tNode = new TreeNode();

            tNode.Text = node.Attributes["title"].Value;

            tNode.Value = node.Attributes["url"].Value;

           

            tvList.Nodes.Add(tNode);

        } 

    }

Eg of HeadLine.xml

<xml>

      <siteMapNode title="Phono" url="Phono.aspx" description="Phono"/>

      <siteMapNode title="Coming Up Next" url="ComingUpNext.aspx" description="ComingUpNext"/>

 </xml>

Easy ....

Benj was adding to my post and I believe that his statements do add
value to the advice I had given. Since I had mentioned it as just "one
way to do it", reaffirming that method says that it might be the
preferred way to do it. ;-)

Nope. Of course not. I just wanted to help. Besides, I'm anticipating
that
he might ask again. :D
