Comments

The CollapseAll method collapses all entries (hides child entries).

This method is typically only useful when initializing a form as it is displayed, to hide all child items by collapsing the parent items.

To insure that the end-user can expand the items again, the ExpandButtons property should be set to True, so expand/collapse buttons are displayed.

The SftOptionsEntry.Collapse method can be used to collapse one entry.

The ExpandAll method can be used to expand all parent items.

Example

SftOptions1.ExpandButtons = True
SftOptions1.Add "", "Topic1", "Sample Topic 1", entrySftOptionsTopic, "", "", _
    Nothing, "", "", "", ""
SftOptions1.Add "Topic1", "Cb1", "Check Box 1", entrySftOptionsCheckBox, "", "", _
    Nothing, "", "", "", ""
SftOptions1.Add "Topic1", "Cb2", "Check Box 2", entrySftOptionsCheckBox, "", "", _
    Nothing, "", "", "", ""
SftOptions1.Add "", "Topic2", "Sample Topic 2", entrySftOptionsTopic, "", "", _
    Nothing, "", "", "", ""
SftOptions1.CollapseAll
