Remarks

Consider the following Tree List control with five nodes selected.

When copying the selection as plain text with the CopyNodeHierarchy property set to True or Default, the copied data contains hierarchy indents for each nested node:

If the CopyNodeHierarchy property is set to False, no hierarchy indents are included in the output:

The screenshots above were made in the PlainText copy mode (see ClipboardOptions.ClipboardMode), in which data is copied as plain text and the TAB character is used for node hierarchy indents. In the Formatted copy mode, data is copied in multiple formats simultaneously. Node hierarchy indents are created in different ways for each of these formats.
