Hi…

```
I am working on data having tree structure. I did the insertion of

```

new node to the tree. After inserting I need to show the tree with the  
new node.

For example:

At first the tree looks like:  
- Root  
- Node 1  
Node 1.1  
- Node 1.2  
Node 1.2.1  
Node 1.2.2  
+ Node 2

I inserted a new node Node 1.1.1 under Node 1.1. After inserting this  
node I need to show the tree as follows:  
- Root  
- Node 1  
- Node 1.1  
Node 1.1.1  
- Node 1.2  
Node 1.2.1  
Node 1.2.2  
+ Node 2

A ‘-’ sign appears before Node 1.1, also the new node Node 1.1.1 is  
shown under Node 1.1

How will I achieve this? Please help me.

Thanks  
Regards  
Suneeta
