Hi All,

I have a quick Question regarding treeview control. I have a project with a Treeview control with 1 main node and 3 child nodes. When a user selects the child nodes, i want them to run an external program.

How can i make a selected child node run certain application.

+Programs
    +Notepad     (process.start("notepad.exe"))
    +MS Paint    (process.start("mspaint.exe"))
    +Calculator  (process.start("calculator.exe"))

Any Help would be fantastic!

Cheers

Solution 1

Looks like you already know that Process.Start[^] allows you to execute any executable from within your program.

Now, On node click, you can use a switch case. In it, based on the node text (or any other identifier), use Process.Start and launch the desired application.

Either during the bind, use a fixed ID with each node to determine the node and then execute the process accordingly
OR
Use selectednode.text to help you out.
