Treeview Control: Maintaining Selection Rectangle When Disabled?

Got a TreeView control on the screen.

User clicks a node, screen loads details for that node.

Screen has two modes: Browse and Edit.

If the user clicks "Edit", I set Tree.Enabled=Fa lse and make the detail fields
on the screen editable.

Tree.Enabled=Fa lse because once the screen is in "Edit" mode for data behind a
certain node, we don't want the user to select some other node.

Problem is that when Tree.Enabled is set to False, the selection rectangle on
the current node disappears - making for some confusion for the user... "Which
thing am I editing?..."

One workaround would be to repeat the currently-selected Node.Text on the screen
over top of the detail section... but that seems a little lame to me.

Conceptually, just locking the Tree instead of setting .Enabled=False would
probably have the desired effect... but there doesn't seem tb a .Locked prop for
the tree.

Anybody been here? Some other property?

I've got a TreeView on the left of my screen. As the user navigates the tree, I load corresonding detail info into the rest of the screen. Works ok, but when the user clicks on a detail field, the TreeView's selection rectangle goes away and the user is left wondering what happened. Seems like there ought TB a way to preserve that rectangle. The optimal would be to have it go grey when the control loses focus and return to blue whe...

Please, help. I created my contol, ButtonX, which subclasses System.Forms.Windows.Button class.

I am having the problem where when I change the font of a TreeNode in a TreeView to a bold property, the bounds or rectangle that draws the node does not expand so that the text ends up being cut off as shown in the attached image. I have read all sorts of suggestions about making all the font bold first, then changing it back to regular which seems to work, but is sort of a crappy solution. My question: Is there any way to just override...

I am using a TreeView to perform navigation and have a few nodes that need to generate a popup menu. For this, I use the SelectedNodeChanged event and then add the relevant "window.open" script to the page using the ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript method. This seems to work fine, but if the user clicks on the same node twice, the event doesn't fire a second time. I assume this is by design as the Node Selection hasn't changed, but...

I have overridden the default DrawNode (OwnerDrawText mode) to allow me to draw an extra icon at the front of the text block, while still using the built-in icon list for another icon. The problem I am having is that when a node is selected it snips the text to the length of the text minus the length of the extra icon. Is there a way to redefine the selection box size for each node? The DrawNode code is as follows :

Hi, Is there a way for TreeView to have multiple selections? But I am not talking about its checked boxes. I want a way similar to ListView with MultiSelect = True. So I can use or key and click to make multiple selections. Then when I simply click one item, all previous selections are gone. Thanks in advance.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
