I use the tocloft package to design the Table of Contents. I want the part entries listed in one column and all the other entries such as chapter, section, subsection ... should be listed in two columns. For example, I want to have:

                                 Part I entry
------------------------------------ \hrule ---------------------------------
Chapter 1 chapter title ............ 1|Chapter 2 chapter title ............ 4
      1.1 section title............. 2|      2.1 section title............. 5
          1.1.1 subsection title ... 3|          2.1.1 subsection title ... 6


                                 Part 2 entry
------------------------------------ \hrule ---------------------------------
Chapter 3 chapter title ............ 7|Chapter 4 chapter title ........... 10
      3.1 section title............. 8|      4.1 section title............ 11
          3.1.1 subsection title ... 9|          4.1.1 subsection title .. 12

Em, the following is my MWE:


% !Mode:: "TeX:UTF-8"
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage{tikz}

\renewcommand\cftpartafterpnum{\nopagebreak\vspace{-.7em}\par\tikz\draw (0,-0.1) -- (0,0) -- (\linewidth,0) -- (\linewidth, -0.1);\vspace{-2em}}
\setlength{\cftpartnumwidth}{0pt}
\setlength{\cftbeforepartskip}{.6em}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\cftpartfont}{\bfseries%
  \def\numberline##1{\gdef\@temp@numberline{##1}}%
}
\renewcommand{\cftpartfillnum}[1]{%
    {}%
    {\centering\makebox[0em]{\cftpartpagefont}\cftpartafterpnum}%
}
\makeatother

% http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/78980/how-to-emulate-titletoc-with-tocloft
\pretocmd{\part}{\addtocontents{toc}{\par}}{}{}
\pretocmd{\chapter}{\addtocontents{toc}{\par}}{}{}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\part{Part Title}
\chapter{Chapter Title}
\section{Section Title}
\subsection{Subsection Title}
\subsubsection{Subsubsection Title}
\subsubsection{Subsubsection Title}
\section{Section Title}
\section{Section Title}
\subsection{Subsection Title}

\part{Part Title}
\chapter{Chapter Title}
\section{Section Title}
\subsection{Subsection Title}
\section{Section Title}
\section{Section Title}
\subsection{Subsection Title}
\subsubsection{Subsubsection Title}


\part{Part Title}
\chapter{Chapter Title}
\section{Section Title}
\subsection{Subsection Title}
\section{Section Title}
\section{Section Title}
\subsubsection{Subsubsection Title}

\end{document}

So how can I make all entries in two columns except the part ones just like the sample style presented Here.

Thanks.

You need to insert the multicol environment definitions (start and end) at the appropriate locations: Immediately after \part you need \begin{multicol}{2} and immediately before \part you need \end{multicol}.

enter image description here

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{tocloft,etoolbox,multicol,tikz}

\renewcommand\cftpartafterpnum{\nopagebreak\vspace{-.7em}\par\tikz\draw (0,-0.1) -- (0,0) -- (\linewidth,0) -- (\linewidth, -0.1);\vspace{-2em}}
\setlength{\cftbeforepartskip}{.6em}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\cftpartfont}{\bfseries\let\numberline\@gobble}
\renewcommand{\cftpartfillnum}[1]{%
    {}%
    {\centering\makebox[0em]{\cftpartpagefont}\cftpartafterpnum}%
}
\let\@oldendpart\@endpart
\renewcommand{\@endpart}{\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\begin{multicols}{2}}\@oldendpart}
\makeatother

\let\oldpart\part
\renewcommand{\part}{\ifnum\value{part}>0 \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\end{multicols}}\fi\oldpart}
\AtEndDocument{\ifnum\value{part}>0 \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\end{multicols}}\fi}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents

\part{Part Title}
\chapter{Chapter Title}
\section{Section Title}
\subsection{Subsection Title}

\end{document}

The insertion of \begin{multicol}{2} is conditional on the fact that are not calling it the first time. Also, the insertion of \end{multicol} is done \AtEndDocument (also, conditional on the fact that you have at least one \part).
