treenode - treeview

[Dean L. Howen]

Hi,

I want to add some attributes to TreeNode, so I create a new class MyNode
that inheritance from System.Windows. Forms.TreeNode,
I want to TreeView use MyNode instead of TreeNode, so I can manipulate with
new attributes
How can? Please give me some ideas,
Thanks.

Because the TreeNode doesn't have Value Property which contents value behind
the diplayed text in TreeView

[RH]

The TreeNode has a propery called Tag which is of type object. You can use
this property to store a single value or a whole object such as your MyNode
class.

I agree with RH. Use the tag object to store any object you want. You can
inherit from treeview and treenode, but then you need to override a bunch of
stuff to get the strong typing you desire which would start to get messy.

Below is my subclassed TreeNode with TreeView. On your windows you will add
the exTreeView and then add exTreeNode to the view. Now if you are like me
and need to display this new data then you will need to override the windows
painting with "unsafe protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)". I
think that's it but I might have left something out, this was pulled for
working code but it's rather large to post the whole thing here.

Hope this helps,
John

I agree with RH solution. It's simpler than John'one ( it's more complex,
have to do many modify, but it's great. ).

Thank you for all your help!

Hi,
According your solution, if I want to get the new attribute value, I have
more work to do, right?

Anyway, thank you to show me many solution.

You can add any value you want to the exTreeNode and use it from code with
only a few changes. The problem is if you want to display the value in the
tree itself then you have to handle that condition. If you don't wish to
display the data in the tree then all you reall need to do is make the
exTreeNode and use it instead of TreeNode.

John
