<title Introduction>
Virtual Treeview is a tree view control built from ground up. More than 3 years of development made it one of the most
flexible and advanced tree controls available today. Virtual Treeview starts off with the claim to improve many aspects
\of existing solutions and introduces some new technologies and principles which were not available before.
As the name already indicates, this control uses a different paradigm for tree management than other controls of this
kind. It does not know anything about the data it manages (except its size), not even the captions of a node. Everything
is retrieved from the application via events (or descendants via overridden methods).
Virtual Treeview has been carefully designed and thoroughly tested. The control proved its concept as well as everyday
fitness already in many commercial products and freeware projects.
