Free List - Current Version 1.00.03 - VB.NET

Free formed lists.  Created mainly to help my good lady wife to leave me lists I can read. 
And to enhance my slowly evolving VB.Net skills. 
All best intentions offering this product to anyone who cares to give it a fair go.
Do whatever you want except claim its yours.

v 1.00.03  - Enhancements:
            Moved the database name and details to status bar. 
            Double-Clicking on a node now edits.

v 1.00.02  - Enhancements:
            Moved command buttons to Tool Strip after converting all .ico libraries to .gif.  Major undertaking.
            Changed Icons.
            Updated Node icons. 
            A Right-click on a tree node now selects that tree node before displaying the popup menu.
            I've lightened up a bit with more wording and spelling corrections on this web page.

v 1.00.01  - Enhancements:
            DB Form now shows .exe name.
            All message boxes now show .exe name.
            Implemented auto scrolling for Tree view drag. 
                 (It was there before just got lost when the 'Handles' handle fell off)
            Sample DB may have had start position beyond normal screen size. 
                 (I have four screens and don't know how I could return to just one.)
            More wording and spelling corrections on this web page.

 

   

 

You don't have to - but

You can copy and rename the executable to anything you want. 

Which will be reflected in the forms title bar.

You can name the root node anything you want .  And it will also be reflected in the title bar.

You can also copy and rename the MSAccess DB to anything you want.

 

Executing a newly copied and renamed .exe will ask for its associated database.

 

Select the newly copied and renamed database.

Click Open then Click OK.

 

Here we've opened an existing db we renamed to myToDoList.mdb.
Of course it will have the previous data.

Just go thru and delete all the children.

Then click the right mouse for the popup menu.

 

And just edit the Root name and the form title will reflect the change.

 

From here just insert as many child nodes as you need where you need.
The tree has been design to have endless nodes.

The download contains a FreeList.mdb and a FreeList.exe in a Windows XP compressed format.

All form size and position properties are saved in the database.

The database name is saved in the registry based upon the .exe name.

OK you can ask me for the code now.
Even thou I'm embarrassed to offer it.  I'm happy for others to be able to learn from it. 
Whether its how to do something or how NOT to do something.
I started with a project from www.thecodeproject.com.
And have tried to leave all the original code and credits intact.

If you don't know if your download are already being checked
or how to safely check your downloads for viruses
then I strongly suggest that you take this opportunity to find out now
by researching the issue before downloading.
That goes of any download.  Not just mine.

As always any positive constructive suggests are greatly appreciated for any of the software I've written.


All the best to Everyone.
