Hi Tony thanks for the reply.. i have go through the site, but i have to ask, is there any API thing, that i can build a treeview in AutoCAD 2010 instead of building a windows application of treeview? thanks

The way you use a treeview in AutoCAD isn't much different from the way you
do it in a windows application.

But, to do that, you have to be reasonably familar building AutoCAD
applications using .NET, and it's fairly obvious from your questions that
you've never done that before.

Using .NET and AutoCAD's ObjectARX API is something that requires some
learning and experience, which is why I pointed you at that site.

It seems that you're looking for an 'easy button'. Sorry to disappoint, but
there is none.

That site was more about learning to use the tools, which
are the same whether you are developing standalone windows
applications or AutoCAD appilicatons.

The treeview is NOT part of the acad API. It is part of the Windows framework.
You may use it when you create a dialog box in autocad, then populate it with the autocad data that you wish

thanks for the info Patrick. may i know where can i learn all these creating a dialog box?? i have learnt how to make a very simple tree view and adding nodes into it. do i need to compile it into an exe file or something like that in order for it to work in AutoCAD?

It sounds that you are very new to programming in general and here is what you need to do besides maybe going to where Tony sent you
Get SDK on autocad API and do tutorials
Get a couple reference books on dot net programming
You may want to take some classes on programming
If you are working for a company - hire it out

Just my .02 cents worth
