Use the ItemParent property to retrieve the parent item. Use the InsertItem property to insert child items. Use the InsertControlItem property to insert ActiveX controls. The SetParent method changes the item's parent at runtime. To verify if an item can be parent for another item you can call AcceptSetParent property. If the item has no parent the ItemParent property retrieves 0. If the ItemParent gets 0 for an item, than the item is called root. The control is able to handle more root items. To get the collection of root items you can use RootCount and RootItem properties. Use the ItemChild property to retrieve the first child item.
