Expand Collapse Forms API or Active X?

[rebelscum0000]

Dear All

Windows XP Pro
Access 2003 Pro SP3

I am looking for an API or active X that can I use in a Form, where I
can expand - Collapse, use icons and enter description of each item

This URL shows some samples that my client wants in his form

http://www.jedikeeper.com/rebelscum0000/windows_screen.htm

I did a search at Google and I found several Active X most or them
for .NET

http://www.windowscontrols.com/treeocx.html

http://www.ssware.com/fldrview.htm

They are very expensive, my client I am sure he will not paid for
these Active X, and I sure I am not going to need for further
databases.

In a few words as always I am lost

Can someone please help?

TIA

Regards,
Antonio Macias

The Microsoft TreeView control should be able to do all of that. The problem
is, there's not much documentation out there for it.

Alex Dybenko has an example at

going.

And there's this article by Rebecca Riordan:

I've never used this control myself, but I find it intriguing.

Dear Douglas J. Steele

in order to use Treeview control in your applications you have to have it installed and have design license to insert control into form. Design license shipped with >several Microsoft products including Visual Basic 6 and Office Developers Edition

Just Curious how do I know if i have "Design license" or "Design
license Installed"?

No sample code but here's a UI I built using the Treeview control.
