Deriving from Treenode

[Jacob Grass]

I have class that I derived from treenode. I simply added a couple of
properties to it. For some reason, the Clone method is crapping out on me.
I am assuming that I need to override the clone method and provide my own
implementation for my own class. Unfortunately, I really have no idea how
to do this. . . All of my attempts have resulted in the references coming
across to the new object. Furthermore, in my custom implementation, will I
have to recursively clone all child nodes?

Any insights on this issue would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Jacob,

I think you will have to. Something along the lines:

<pseudo code not tested>

Public Function Clone() as TreeNodePlus ' or as object

Dim tn as New TreeNodePlus
With tn
.Text = Me.Text
.......
End With

Dim tnChild as TreeNodePlus
For each tnChild in Me.Nodes
tn.Nodes.Add(tnChild.Clone())
Next

return tn

End Function

Bill-

Yup. . .That's the consensus I have been getting. The Treenode.Clone method
is very broken for this type of implementation, so, I ended up doing
something similar to what you have suggested below. . .

Thanks.
