About

VirtualTreeview is a TTreeView control built from ground up.

Its main characteristics are :

  • it is extremely fast. Adding one million nodes takes only ~700 milliseconds
  • very small memory foot print. by only allocating about 60 bytes per node
  • optimized for high speed access. It takes as few as 0.5 seconds to traverse one million nodes
  • Multiselection is supported
  • Drawing the entire tree to a bitmap or the printer is supported
  • fixed background image can be used
  • Hot style for nodes is supported
  • Nodes can have individual heights

(*)Beginning with Windows 7, additional security measures were introduced for .chm Files, if you either download a .chm file directly via the browser (without going through a .zip file), or open the file from a network drive.
