Hi - I am new to VB.Net/2005, but not VB. I am trying to find an
outline or tree - type control for VB.Net/2005 that provides the
ability for the User to TYPE in one of the NODES of the outline... AND
while typing, that node will visually expand to 2/3/4/etc lines if the
User has reached the end of the line. Ideally, I would also like the
User to be italicize or colorize any word within what they are typing
also. Thanks much! Rex
 
Hello Rex,

The RichTextBox is the closest thing I can think of. It supports bulleted
outline mode as well as text formatting.

Thanks, Boo... Do you know if there is a way to make that RichTextBox
part of an outline (to get the effect I describe below)? What I'm
trying to create is a *real* outlining-style word processor/software.
(Or if you or anyone else has any other ideas on how to accomplish
this...?)

Hello Rex,

I've accomplished this effect using HTML + Javascript. Embed a WebBrowser
control in your form.

This link: ( http://www.akmhs.com/tripplanner/index.cfm ) has an example
that will get you started. Do an itenerary search till you get results..
then the results can be expanded/collapsed.

-Boo
