You need to use the treeview control[^]. If you google "winforms treeview" there are many customones out there that might be better suited to your needs.

Use another treeview which is mysearchedTreeview at same location of mytreeview ,change the visible states of the two treenodes once searching is happend

private void txbsearch_textchange(object sender,eventArgs e)
{
if(txbsearch.Text.Length>0)
{
mySearchNodeTxt(mytreeview.nodes,txb.text);
mytreeview.visible=false;
mysearchedTreeview.visible=true;
}
else
{
mytreeview.visible=true;
mysearchedTreeview.visible=false;
}
}

private mySearchNodeTxt(TreeNodeCollection m_TreeNode, string searchtxt)
        {
            foreach (TreeNode Searchnode in m_TreeNode)
            {
                if (Searchnode.Text.ToLower().Contains(searchtxt.ToLower()))
                {
                 mysearchedTreeview.nodes.add((TreeNode)Searchnode.Clone());


                }

                SearchNodeTxt(Searchnode.Nodes, searchtxt);
                
            }
            
        }
