TreeExpand Command

Overview

The “TreeExpand Command” expands or collapses the selected node of the Project View
together with all of the nodes below it. Expanding a large branch node by node is slow,
and this command opens the whole branch in one step.

The command can be started in any of the following ways:

1. Right-click a node in the Project View and choose “Expand” or “Collapse” from the
   context menu.
2. Enter “_CmdViewTreeNodesExpand” in the prompt window.

Usage

Here is an explanation of how the “TreeExpand Command” is typically used:

1. Select the node you want to open or close in the Project View.

2. Start the command. When it is started from the prompt window, the prompt “Expand?” is
   displayed. Answer yes to expand the node and no to collapse it. The context menu
   supplies the answer for you: “Expand” answers yes and “Collapse” answers no.

The same thing can be done for the Property View with the “PropExpand Command”.
