No. In VB6's Treeview, there's only one Nodes collection, a reference to
which is obtained from the Nodes property of the Treeview control itself. In
VB.NET, each TreeNode object has its own TreeNodeCollection. I supposed you
could write a wrapper class for VB6's Treeview to provide this
functionality, though.

No. As I said, there's only *one* Nodes collection. It includes ALL Node
objects for the entire Treeview control. There are several properties for
getting references to related Node objects. Look up the Child, FirstSibling,
LastSibling, Next, Previous, Parent, and Root properties of a Node object.
All of these return a reference to some other Node object.

It sounds like you're coming from a VB.NET background. You need to quit
thinking in VB.NET terms when working in VB6. <g>

You probably should have read it and tried the sample code first. It might
have answered your questions.
