Treeview and Checkbox question

[Elmo Watson]

Is there any way to make checking a checkbox in a Treeview mutually
exclusive?

That is, to make it so that only one item may be selected....

You have to write your own code for that. If the current node
has just been checked, iterate through the tree and uncheck every
other node. If the current node is unchecked, do nothing.

What Treeview event do I use for determining whether a checkbox has been
checked?

has just been checked, iterate through the tree and uncheck every
other node. If the current node is unchecked, do nothing.

I've got this code:

If Treeview1.SelectedNode.Checked = True Then
For Each nd As TreeNode In Treeview1.Nodes
If nd.Text <> Treeview1.SelectedNode.Text Then
nd.Checked = False
End If
Next
End If
I've tried this in the NodeMouseClick event
but, when I click on the checkbox in the treeview, the node is not selected,
so I get the old
'object reference not set to an instance of an object'
error

I need to, when I check the node (I guess), have the node selected at the
same time - - am I right?

If so, how do I do that?

You've always got to check to see if .SelectedNode != null
first.

It is a TreeView basics code sample that demonstrates some things you'll
need.
