Class: ItemClass
Namespace: Softelvdm.SftTreeNET
Assembly: Softelvdm.SftTreeNET

Syntax

public ItemClass Copy(
    ItemCollectionClass ItemCollection,
    bool fDeep );
public ItemClass Copy(
    ItemClass ItemTarget,
    CopyStyleEnum Style,
    bool fDeep );

Public Function Copy(
    ByVal ItemCollection As ItemCollectionClass,
    ByVal fDeep As Boolean
  ) As ItemClass
Public Function Copy(
    ByVal ItemTarget As ItemClass,
    ByVal Style As CopyStyleEnum,
    ByVal fDeep As Boolean
  ) As ItemClass

Parameters

ItemCollection

The item collection.

fDeep

Defines whether child items are also copied. True to copy all child items, otherwise False.

ItemTarget

Specifies the target item, where the new item is to be copied to.

Style

Defines how the item is copied.

Return Value

The new item.

Comments

Copies an item to a new position in the tree control.

The newly inserted item is no longer selected.

The Copy method accepting an ItemCollection argument is usually used when copying items into an empty tree control. The tree control's empty item collection is represented by the SftTree.ItemCollection property.

Items that are copied lose their selection status and are no longer selected.

                    } catch (Exception exc) {
                        MessageBox.Show(exc.Message);
