Use the Parent property to get the parent of the node. Use the Parent property to move a node from a parent to another.  The Parent property gets nothing if the node has no parent. The root node has no parent. Use the Root property to access the root node of the organigram. Use the Item property to access an item/node by its key. Use the FirstNode property to retrieve the first child node. Use the NextNode property to determine the next sibling node. Use the Position property to change the node's position. Use the LastNode property to determine the last child node. Use the Nodes property to access the nodes collection. Use the Add method to add a child node.

The following VB sample changes the node's parent by dragging:

Dim n As Node

Private Sub ChartView1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    Set n = ChartView1.NodeFromPoint(-1, -1)
    If Not (n Is Nothing) Then
        If n.IsAssistant Or n.IsGroup Then
            Set n = Nothing
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub ChartView1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    If (Button = 1) Then
        If Not (n Is Nothing) Then
            Dim nNew As Node
            Set nNew = ChartView1.NodeFromPoint(-1, -1)
            If Not (nNew Is Nothing) Then
                If Not nNew.IsAssistant And Not nNew.IsGroup Then
                    n.Parent = nNew
                End If
            End If
        End If
    End If
End Sub

The following VB sample moves the "wnd" node to "gdi" node:

With ChartView1.Nodes
    .Item("wnd").Parent = .Item("gdi")
End With

When moving a node from a parent to another you need to be sure:

• the new parent node is not child of the current node. For instance, if A is parent of B, and B is parent of C, you can't move the B as being child of C.
• the current node and the new parent node are not assistant nodes. The AddAssistant node adds assistant nodes. An assistant node can't have child nodes. The Add method adds normal nodes, that can move from a parent to another.
