How do I test if a parent node of a tree control exists? So far, I can't find a method, function or proerty that works. I always get an error msg saying object does not exist or object required.

I want to see if a parent node exists, and if so, then set a child of that node. If no, I want to create the parent node and then set the child node.

Any tips are greatly appreciated.

In what language though?
You should be able to just try to access it and catch the exception if it occours.

This is with an ActiveX tree control in VBA. I thought about using error trapping to catch the errors, but thought there might be a method to test if a node exist like:

a method or function like:

if nodeExists(myTree.nodes.item("parentid")) then
'add child
else
'add parent
'add child
endif

I don't have much documentation on this control, and all the stuff I got off msdn doesn't say anything about checking to see if a node exists.
