This is a hierarchical tree control designed specifically for MAUI. It uses .NET 8 and currently runs on Windows and SQL Server only.
Features include:
- A data-driven control that utilizes its own dbcontext and creates and manages its own set of tables to support Hierarchies/Folders/Items.
- A sort of in-process microservice that can provide separate hierarchies for multiple subsystems in an application.
- While Folders have common icons, the items can use different icons per item
- Context menu's are attached to the folders and items, allowing full control
- The consumer application creates a ViewModel that implements IPowerTreeViewModel
- This consumer ViewModel provides full control over the actions that take place based on context menu and tap gesture selections.
- Drag and Drop capabilty allowing sorting of Folders and items
- Consuming application handles their own entities, but shares these entityId's with the TreeView control
- Included Sample application PowerTree.Sample demonstrates a bookmark type of component implementation.
This is based on Luis Beltran's https://dev.to/icebeam7/creating-a-treeview-control-in-net-maui-49mp work for Matt Goldman's https://twitter.com/mattgoldman initiative https://goforgoldman.com/posts/maui-ui-july/

This Tree Control is in need of some improvements, some enhancements, and ultimately a NuGet Package. If anyone is interested in contributing please contact me at hopdev@outlook.com.
Future enhancements:
- Support for MacOS, iOS, and Chromebook
- Support for SQLite and Oracle
- Icons to be integrated into project and modified/enhanced
- Light Mode and Dark Mode color support
- Creating a NuGet package for general developer consumption
- Implementation of a "Node Only" mode, where the consumer, such as a Document Management System would be responsible for listing all the items; for scenarios where large numbers of items exist
- Modify Implementation to support XAML syntax for PowerTreeView control and perhaps Folder and Item Templates
- Variety of bug fixes and optimization
- Build in support for those users who only want to use the UI component of the control and not the full microservice
