CTreeCtrl and a linked list or somethink?

I just can't figure it out. Its probably so simple - but I just can't see it.

I wan't to be able to store a complete list of data (e.g CString objects for example) in some sort of organisation....so that I can insert it into a CTreeCtrl....and give me a hierachial representation

I've tried Linked lists and binary tree's...but I can't seem to do it.

Is there an answer...and simple way?...anyway?..

Thank you so much for any help you can give me....

Hours and hours spent playing with linked list :(

Here is a base for a tree item class for you to start with:

Code:

---

#include <AfxTempl.h>

class CTreeItem;
typedef CList<CTreeItem*,CTreeItem*> CTreeItemList;

class CTreeItem
{
public:
  CTreeItem();
  ~CTreeItem();
 
  void              AddChild( CTreeItem * p_poChild );

protected:
  CTreeItem *      c_poParent;
  CTreeItemList    c_oChildren;
};

---

The c_poParent will store the parent of each child item, and it will be set in the AddChild function. Also in the AddChild function, you would add the p_poChild variable into the c_oChildren list that you have. Then, you would probably make some iterator class (or else just public functions) to iterate the children of each item. Somewhere you would just have to store one CTreeItem variable, which would be the root item of the tree.

thanx Chris,
it might work....but I think I might just give up on CTreeCtrls' forever and storing data....life just is to short!...2 days!...my god!!...just playing with linked lists...no more I tell you no more ;)

:)

Thanx anyway Chris your a star.
