Uncheck child nodes if parent node is unchecked in treeview

I'm trying to use a Treeview control. I'd like to have all child nodes be
automatically unchecked if a if I uncheck a parent node. Also, is there a
way to specify that if a node contains child nodes it'll automatically be
bold?

I've got drag 'n drop working on my treeview and so I'd like any parent
nodes to bold themselves.

I would love it if someone could help me with this. Even better; does
anyone know a really, really good and simple to understand novice to advanced
tutorial on how to program treeview controls? This would help prevent me
from bugging everyone about my treeview woes.

Okay, so I found this post:

Which is extremely helpful. And essentially answers my question. But I'm
still open to a really good treeview control tutorial if anyone's got one.

Thanks

Could you explain a little more about your number 2 line? Is that supposed
to make any parent node bold if it contains child nodes? How would I use
that? Which event would I put that in?
