In this step, you'll begin in Visual Studio to create a WPF application using TreeView for WPF.
Complete the following steps:
1. In Visual Studio, select File | New | Project.
2. In the New Project dialog box, select a language in the left pane, and in the templates list select WPF Application. Enter a Name for your project and click OK to create your project. The MainWindow.xaml file should open
3. In the XAML window of the project, place the cursor between the <Grid> and </Grid> tags and click once.
Navigate to the Toolbox and double-click the C1TreeView icon to add the treeview control to MainWindow.xaml. Note that the C1.WPF namespace and <c1:C1TreeView></c1:C1TreeView> tags have been added to the project.
4. Remove any markup in or between the <c1:C1TreeView></c1:C1TreeView> tags. The XAML markup will now look similar to the following:
<Window x:Class="MainWindow" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" xmlns:c1="http://schemas.componentone.com/winfx/2006/xaml">
<Grid>
<c1:C1TreeView></c1:C1TreeView>
</Grid>
</Window>
5. Give your grid a name by adding x:Name="Tree" to the <c1:C1TreeView> tag so that it appears similar to the following:
<c1:C1TreeView x:Name="Tree">
By giving the control a unique identifier, you'll be able to access the C1TreeView control in code.
You've successfully created a WPF application containing a C1TreeView control. In the next step, you will customize the appearance and behavior of the C1TreeView control.
