Topic Outline:

In this month’s presentation, Pete Poppe will introduce the Treeview control and demonstrate when it can greatly benefit the display of certain types of data within Access applications. The treeview provides a means to show hierarchical data in a compact but expandable form.

Access does not have a native treeview control but there is an Active X control and third-party versions.

The presentation will provide basics on working with the treeview and provide a “wrapper” class that makes working with treeviews much simpler.
