Below is a list of main features in the XtraTreeList control.

Data Specifics Support for Hierarchical Data Relationships - With the XtraTreeList, you can represent any self-referenced data structure without hassle... In bound or un-bound mode. Full ADO+ Support - The XtraTreeList takes full advantage of ADO+. By using this data access architecture and separation of internal data modules from data presentation, the XtraTreeList does not use any extra buffers, thus greatly improving performance and reducing memory use. Advanced Unbound Mode Support - The XtraTreeList works with any source which supports an IList or ITypedList interface, along with all inherited interfaces. Dynamic Loading - Allows you to load only root nodes (rows) on start-up. Child nodes are loaded when their parents are expanded. Binding to a Business Object - With this feature, you are able to bind the TreeList control to any object that represents a tree structure. You can do this by implementing the DevExpress.XtraTreeList.IVirtualTreeListData interface for the business object or via the TreeList's VirtualTreeGetChildNodes and VirtualTreeGetCellValue events. Data Representation Specifics Automatic Sorting against Multiple Columns - With the XtraTreeList, you can sort against an unlimited number of columns, without writing a single line of code. Filtering Nodes - This feature allows you to flexibly control the visibility of nodes. You can filter nodes based upon the contents of a column. It's also possible to handle the FilterNode event to dynamically specify which nodes need to be currently displayed or hidden. Or you can change a node's visibility directly via the node's Visible property. Custom Sorting - Allows you to implement a custom sorting algorithm by handling the CompareNodeValues event. Custom Node Height and Runtime Node Resizing - You can implement a custom algorithm that sets different heights for different nodes or you can allow end-users to freely change the heights of nodes at runtime. Incremental Searching - This allows end-users to quickly locate the required information within the XtraTreeList by typing a search string within a non-editable column. Auto Preview Pane - Permits you to display long text fields within the TreeList. Runtime Column Customization - The XtraTreeList provides a quick method of customizing the control's layout at runtime. End-users can hide specific columns and then restore them using drag and drop. In-place Editing

XtraEditors Library Integration - No more hassle or limits when it comes to using editors within a treeview. The XtraTreeList works in concert with our XtraEditors Library allowing you to use all our field editors (from date controls to combo boxes) directly within your TreeList. Editor Repository - You can setup a single in-place editor, for instance a pick image edit as an editor for a payment type field, and use it for as many TreeLists or other Developer Express controls as you wish. When you use the repository and have to add a different credit card payment type, you only need to change it in one in-place editor. Painting Specifics

Support for Multiple Painting Schemes - WindowsXP, Flat, Style3D, Office2003, etc. Skins Support - Skins will bring a striking look and feel to your applications, far beyond the normal painting standards. Appearances - A powerful mechanism to control the entire look and feel of the TreeList, allowing you to customize appearance settings of almost any visual element. Style Conditions - You can apply appearances to cells conditionally to reflect certain states such as errors. Alpha Blending & Background Images - You can greatly improve the look & feel of your TreeList control by assigning a background image to it and using transparent element colors. Custom Painting - The XtraTreeList provides a set of events that enable you to perform custom painting of control elements. Using this feature, you have no limits in adjusting the control's look & feel. Design-Time

Advanced XtraTreeList Designer - The XtraTreeList control's designer provides access to the control's settings by categorizing them into separate pages. Thus you can quickly find appropriate options that control different aspects of the XtraTreeList. Nodes Editor - This is an easy-to-use editor that allows you to add nodes at design time (used in unbound mode). Design-time column selection - Not only can you select columns in the Properties grid but also select them directly in the XtraTreeList at design time. Miscellaneous

Context Menus - Context menus provide end-users with quick access to the most common customization tasks: apply footer and row summaries, invoke column customization, apply best fit to columns and more. It's also possible to extend the built-in menus by implementing custom features via an event. Column Header and Cell Hint Support. ErrorInfo Support - The XtraTreeList permits you to mark specific cells or

entire nodes with error icons and so indicate the cells that contain invalid data. Save and Load Layouts - By default, the XtraTreeList control enables endusers to customize the control's layout at runtime. To save the changes made into the layout by end users between application runs you can use the SaveLayoutTo... and RestoreLayoutFrom... methods. Printing (via the XtraPrinting Library). Localization of Every Interface Element. Export and Import from XML.
