' The CTREEVIEWEDIT Class module
'
' This class lets you use a regular TextBox control to
' edit a treeview node's label. All you have to do to
' use this class is adding a TextBox control to the same
' form that hosts the TreeView control, and initialize
' an instance of the class from inside the form's Load
' event. In the following example we have a treeview
' control named tvwHierarchy and a support textbox control
' named txtSupport

' Dim TVEdit As New CTreeViewEdit
'
' Private Sub Form_Load()
'   TVEdit.Init tvwHierarchy, txtSupport
' End Sub

' You can then write code in the event procs of txtSupport,
' as you would do with a regular textbox. For example you
' can filter out invalid keys. You can also terminate the
' edit mode by invoking the class's EndLabelEdit method
' (pass True to accept the new value, False to reject it)

'Private Sub txtSupport_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
'  If KeyAscii >= 48 And KeyAscii <= 57 Then
'    ' filter out numeric keys
'    KeyAscii = 0
'  ElseIf KeyAscii = 8 Then
'    ' the backspace cancels the operation
'    TVEdit.EndLabelEdit False
'  End If
'End Sub
