ComponentOne WInforms Edition introduces **TreeView for WinForms**, a control to help users display a hierarchical list of items such as indexed entries, directories on a disk, headings in a document, etc. The TreeView control manages data through nodes that can be selected, edited, and used to display simple text, images, and other elements such as check boxes.
