I just learned of an IBM patent(7412649 ) awarded this month for a
method of populating a treeview that improves performance by loading
only the upper level nodes and loading childnodes only when an
upperlevel node is expanded. Has not this method been around for at
least ten years? I remember reading articles on it back in the VB6
days, but cannot locate them now. Anyway, just curious. The patent was
filed in 2005 and there must be numerous examples of so-called "prior
art" on this before that date. If anyone has a refernce to prior
literatue or actual software, let me know.
