How to get data out of a tree control

I want to get the string out of a specific cell of a tree control. Why is this so difficult?

Difficult is a subjective term. I find anagrams difficult.

Because the native tree control API is terrible.

Try something like this, it may make your life easier.

Its not so bad, you just need to think of it as a hash table that gets displayed as a tree. I think people get into trouble when they try to think of the tree control as a tree.

I think the tree control is a powerfull tool, to be able to leverage this tool you need to spend a bit of time to understand how to use it.

When I first used it I also though it was difficult, now I'd say it is a bit complex.

 

I encourage you to invest some time to master it!

One cool tool you can have a look to see the power of the Tree Control is Ton Plomp's variant probe available on the LAVA Code Repository

Thanks! this helps me get a 1D array of values in the first column but how about the second?
