Example

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example toggles the selected node when a button is clicked. If the selected node is collapsed, it is expanded, if it is expanded by calling the Expand method, it is collapsed by calling the Collapse method. This example assumes you have a Form with a TreeView control that has at least one TreeNode object with at least one child TreeNode.

[Visual Basic] 
Private Sub button1_Click(sender As Object, _
  e As System.EventArgs) Handles button1.Click
   If treeView1.SelectedNode.IsExpanded Then
      treeView1.SelectedNode.Collapse()
      MessageBox.Show(treeView1.SelectedNode.Text & _ 
        " tree node collapsed.")
   Else
      treeView1.SelectedNode.Expand()
      MessageBox.Show(treeView1.SelectedNode.Text & _
        " tree node expanded.")
   End If
End Sub 

[C#] 
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   if (treeView1.SelectedNode.IsExpanded)
   {
      treeView1.SelectedNode.Collapse();
      MessageBox.Show(treeView1.SelectedNode.Text + 
        " tree node collapsed.");
   }
   else
   {
      treeView1.SelectedNode.Expand();
      MessageBox.Show(treeView1.SelectedNode.Text + 
        " tree node expanded.");
   }
}

[C++] 
private:
    void button1_Click(Object* /*sender*/, System::EventArgs* /*e*/) {
        if (treeView1->SelectedNode->IsExpanded) {
            treeView1->SelectedNode->Collapse();
            MessageBox::Show(String::Concat(treeView1->SelectedNode->Text,
                S" tree node collapsed."));
        } else {
            treeView1->SelectedNode->Expand();
            MessageBox::Show(String::Concat(treeView1->SelectedNode->Text,
                S" tree node expanded."));
        }
    }
