_GUICtrlTreeView_BeginUpdate($editINI_treeview)
    
    IniDelete($aINI, $section, $pc_label)
    IniWrite($aINI, $section, $label, $asset)
    
    _GUICtrlTreeView_EndUpdate($editINI_treeview)

We will require a bit more info than that. Can you show how you are creating the TreeView? Does it have static and dynamic elements? Are you adding elements dynamically at runtime? What information will change? I use a very large tree where the tree has certain static elements and then Dynamic elements are added at runtime. If there are changes it calls a _RefreshTree() func that deletes all of the dynamic elements and then rebuilds them. The trick to that is to use a Dummy control as the last control in the GUI and another as the last control in the dynamic elements list or at least a count of the dynamic elements so you have something to reference in a For / Next loop.

here's how i build it (data residing in an INI file) - pretty static to answer ur question (until someone edits it)

$asset_locs = IniReadSectionNames($aINI)
For $x = 1 To $asset_locs[0]
    $asset_loc_suffix = StringRight($asset_locs[$x], 7)
    If $asset_loc_suffix = "_ASSETS" Or $asset_loc_suffix = "TARGETS" Then
        $group = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem($asset_locs[$x], $editINI_treeview)
        GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x0000C0)
        
        $assets = IniReadSection($aINI, $asset_locs[$x])

        For $y = 1 To $assets[0][0]
            $pc = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem($assets[$y][0], $group)
            GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x0000C0)
            
            $item_menu = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu($pc)
            $item_edit = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Edit", $item_menu)
            GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "INI_Item_Edit_GUI")
            
            
        Next
    EndIf
Next

Put that in a Function called _TreeRefresh() or what ever Then use something similar to below.

$sIni = FileRead($aIni)
$Frm_Main = GUICreate("My Test Form")
$tree = GUICtrlCreateTreeView("", 10, 10, 100, 100)
$hStart = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
_TreeRefresh()
$hEnd = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
GUISetState()

While 1
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $Msg
        Case -3
            Exit
        Case Else
    EndSwitch
    If FileRead($aIni) <> $sIni Then
         For $i = $hStart+1 To $hEnd
             GUICtrlDelete($i)
         Next
         _TreeRefresh()
        $hEnd = GUICtrlCreateDummy()
        $sIni = FileRead($aIni)
    EndIf
WEnd

Func _TreeRefresh()
$asset_locs = IniReadSectionNames($aINI)
For $x = 1 To $asset_locs[0]
    $asset_loc_suffix = StringRight($asset_locs[$x], 7)
    If $asset_loc_suffix = "_ASSETS" Or $asset_loc_suffix = "TARGETS" Then
        $group = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem($asset_locs[$x], $editINI_treeview)
        GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x0000C0)
        
        $assets = IniReadSection($aINI, $asset_locs[$x])

        For $y = 1 To $assets[0][0]
            $pc = GUICtrlCreateTreeViewItem($assets[$y][0], $group)
            GUICtrlSetColor(-1, 0x0000C0)
            
            $item_menu = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu($pc)
            $item_edit = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Edit", $item_menu)
            GUICtrlSetOnEvent(-1, "INI_Item_Edit_GUI")
            
            
        Next
    EndIf
Next
EndFunc

Without digging through one of my apps to double check, this should be pretty close. You might have to tweak it a bit but the important part is where you declare $hStart and $hEnd. They must be after all the other controls. You could also put them inside the function to make it simple but remember to declare them as Global variables. I didn't do that because I was refreshing either of 2 TreeViews with the same functions so I had 2 start and end points.

Edit: I should have added the fact that there are also some functions in GuiTreeView.au3 that you can use. You will find them in the help file under User Defined Functions>>TreeView Management. I just found it easier in my case to delete them all and then rebuild the tree.

hehe wow.. looks funny when its updating - but it works =D

thanks =)

NP. If the treeView is collapsed you won't have that funny look. BTW: With mine I had some static branches that were not changed so I was only refreshing the subs.

EDIT: A quick tweak for that funny look is to hide the TreeView control during the refresh.
