Hello Gediminas,

for VT you have to define and fill the data-structure for any node in
the tree.
If you want to show the a tree from one table (or view) you can use
IBO_VT, because it has already defined a data-structure to support
self-realtionsphip to a parent field. But it is only suitable for
small/medium ResultSet sizes, because it uses a fetchall to fill the nodes.

If you want to show data from different tables in for example every
node level, you must define your own data-structure.
Look at the examples for Virtuall Tree View (www.delphi-gems.com) and
play with them.
If you find a solution, make it public to the community, so that others
can learn from it.
