Hi David, (sorry I'm late to the discussion here).
If you use the technique Steve mentioned to get to the top level of a tree view (you were already on to it, it's just not entirely clear that the control property of the window object can be any type of control, depending upon what's being accessed), then you'll have to write your code in such a way that you start from the top and process the treeview down to the bottom. You can keep track of the level you're on, and in fact, it's a natural application for writing a recursive routine to process the next level (and so, you would likely pass in the current level and add one to it so that you can always know the current level you are processing). It's hard for me to picture how, but if you had some need to process a child element of a treeview without processing the entire tree from the top, then yes, the technique of walking upward from the child to the top via the .parent properties, and counting along the way, should also work. Sorry I never did the class on advanced controls; I have the examples pretty much written up, but I never did record it.
