  if(TreeView1&&TreeView1->Items->Count){

    /*assuming all the TreeView1->Items have same height*/
    TRect r=TreeView1->Items->Item[0]->DisplayRect(false);
    if(TreeView1->ClientHeight<TreeView1->Items->Count*(r.Bottom-r.Top)){
    /*+you may want to add hor.scrollbar height*/
    }
    /*otherwise*/
    TRect r; int h=0;
    for(int i=0;i<TreeView1->Items->Count;i++){
      r=TreeView1->Items->Item[i]->DisplayRect(false);
      h+=r.Bottom-r.Top;
    }
    if(TreeView1->ClientHeight<h){
    }
  }
  /*adjust TreeView1->ClientWidth as needed*/

I would post this question in the vcl.components.using group.
