treeview add nodes

[zaryk]

hey, im learning win api, and im trying to add nodes to a treeview....this is what i have so. I have found a couple of sites that show how this is done, but I can't ever get them implemented without just out right taking the whole thing and adding it to my code. Any ideas thanks. Along with this, I was hoping someone could lead me to the equivalent of c# .net framework:

1. how to maximize/minimize with button click
2. panels
3. docking
4. how to get rid of the top bar that the window title and close, maximize, and minimize, sit on.

Wow ! So, what is your question ?
Couple of things:

• for C#, this is not the right forum.
• Also, it is advisable to ask one question per thread as much as possible when the questions are unrelated

oh, Im sorry, well basically im looking to convert part of a c# .net framework program I have to c++ win api....thats why i came here because I am doing the programming in c++ win api, not c#. But, first of all, I would like help on adding nodes to the treeview. In the program it brings up a place for the treeview, but I don't know how to add nodes to it. I didn't want to do this but its not much so here is everything I have. Any links would be good too? Plus, because all my question relate to the same program, wouldn't they be related....lolol....yeah, I know what you mean.

and by the way, im using dev c++

// link libcomctl32.a
//link libwinmm.a

#include <windows.h>
#include <string>
#include <commctrl.h>

int libTree_id             = 0;
int compactApp_id          = 2;
int minimizeApp_id         = 4;
int maximizeApp_id         = 6;
int closeApp_id            = 8;
int songPlay_id            = 10;

LRESULT WINAPI myProc(HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) 
{
               if(message == WM_CLOSE){
                          PostQuitMessage(0);
                          }

switch (message)
{
       case WM_COMMAND:
       {

            }

Thanks for a quick reply. Thats going to explain alot......I was on the site before, but apparently looking in the wrong area.
