TreeNode.ExpandAll Method

.NET Framework 4

Expands all the child tree nodes.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:  System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
C#
C++
F#
VB
Copy 
public void ExpandAll()

The ExpandAll method expands all the child tree nodes assigned to the Nodes collection.

Note Note

The state of a TreeNode is persisted. For example, if the next level of child nodes was not collapsed previously, when the Expand method is called, the child nodes appear in their previously expanded state.

The following code example expands all the tree nodes in a TreeView control when a CheckBox is checked, and collapses the FirstNode when the CheckBox is cleared. This example requires that you have a Form with a CheckBox, and a TreeView control with a TreeNodeCollection that has several TreeNode objects (preferably with three or more levels).

C#
C++
VB
Copy 

private void myCheckBox_CheckedChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   // If the check box is checked, expand all the tree nodes.
   if (myCheckBox.Checked == true)
   {
      myTreeView.ExpandAll();
   }
   else
   {
      // If the check box is not cheked, collapse the first tree node.
      myTreeView.Nodes[0].FirstNode.Collapse();
      MessageBox.Show("The first and last  node of CutomerList root node is collapsed");
   }
}
