This page displays some examples where our treeview has been used.
RefTreeAnalyser
Our RefTreeAnalyser also implements the treeview control, as you can see here:
The City Of Amsterdam
The Engineering Desk of the City of Amsterdam has implemented our Treeview in a VBA driven tool which is used by the technical designers of the Engineering desk so their drawings comply with the Dutch CAD standard NLCS. This is what the treeview looks like in their software:
Extended Project Explorer
(by Peter Thornton)
The purpose of this file is to show a few ways how the VBA Treeview can be used in a real life app. The treeview lists projects and modules similar to the VBE's (Visual Basic Editor) Project Explorer, but the branches are extended to list procedures and declarations. These can be double clicked and in turn activated in the VBE.
Other features include routines to search the treeview, return details of the treeview to a sheet to document projects, and more. Please refer to the main demo files for the most recent version of the VBA Treeview.
It looks like this:
Access and Word users: please note documentation is included in the main Excel demo.

Access Archon article
Description: Helen Feddema from Access Watch published an Access Archon article with a sample .accdb database using the Treeview alternative that works in 64-bit Office; also includes a sample .mdb database that uses the native Treeview control.
XER toolkit
The XER Toolkit is an MS Excel based application that can read, display and analyse data from Oracle's Project Management application, Primavera. The toolkit helps to improve the quality of project schedules by providing visibility without the requirement for (expensive) Primavera licences. As an enterprise system, the data within Primavera is hierarchically arranged and so the Treeview developed by JKP has become an integral and essential part of the toolkit's data access functionality. See the video. One of the screens in the tool:
Spanish diseases classification list
From Diego Pereira: This treeview loads the International Classification of Diseases in Spanish. By entering a word, a part of a word or a ICD10 code, one can locate matching nodes, highlight them and expand them. The main purpose of this example is to serve as a simple implementation of the Treeview in an Access style.

Sheet navigation tool
Yves Leboutte sent us these screenshots:
Go To sheet: Allows to jump to worksheet < List of countries
Go To Item: To jump to 1 item (rows)
Item Selection: Allows to save options to some items in 1 or all
childs sheets.
Filtered tree
Tiago Costa from EWEN Energy shared a treeview with us which the user can filter. The filtering is implemented quite simple by filtering the table containing the source data for the tree and rebuilding the tree after filtering using the filtered table (in a Worksheet). I particularly like the looks of the form, very "modern UI"-like:
Template system
FREE open source Access database for IT Asset Management purposes
Florian Rossmark created an IT Assets database, a free open source IT Assets management database project based on Microsoft SQL server as a back end and Microsoft Access as front end. The Wiki module in the database was accomplished by using the TreeView control for easy navigation through structured data controlled by the actual end user.

Your implementation
We're always interested to see how people have implemented the VBA Treeview. So please feel free to send a screenshot with a brief description or relevant details.

To trap the treeview's click event and whatever Access form event traps the selected data record and the events select or activate the reciprical item, something like this:
Private Sub mcTree_Click(cNode As clsNode)
' activate associated data record
End Sub
'In the Access form event
k = the KeyOrIndex associated with selected data item
Set mcTree.ActiveNode = mcTree.Nodes(k)
mcTree.ScrollToView mcTree.ActiveNode

I have been looking for a Treeview like yours, it's such an excellent work!
I wonder if it would be possible to link the Excel VB Treeview data that we add (input) to a Data Validation list cell, by different levels
For example:
The macro is run and then we start adding nodes as:
-Node 1
- Subnode 1.1
- Subnode 1.2
-Node 2
- Subnode 2.1
-Node 3
At the same time we have 2 data validation list cells in which:
-In the first cell its shown the first level (Node 1/Node 2/Node 3)
-In the second cell, depending on what is selected in the first one it will show:
(If Node 1 is selected in the first cell, it will show Subnode 1.1/Subnode 1.2...etc
I hope you understand
Thanks a lot!

I want to create an interface Like your Example "The City Of Amsterdam" But I need To load Data From Sheets
I created the parent and child node but i can't load the child child node form second sheet
I hope that you can help me
Thank's a lot

We don't have the source code of the "City of Amsterdam" example but it's normal Treeview. Without knowing anything about what you are working with it's hard to give any suggestions, but follow how the demos work and refer to the documentation* and hopefully it will all come together.
* if using the Access version get the Excel download for documentation

The way to do that is to enable the MouseUp or -Down event in clsNode and to use that by using the PopUp method of a custom commandbar you create for that purpose.
See comment block in the routine "NodeEventRouter" in clsTreeView to get an idea of what to do.
