Treeview events

I have a treeview linked to a series of panels, making the correct
panel visible depending on which node is selected.

I now want to check that the user is allowed to leave the current node
they're on before letting them do so (popping up a "You have unsaved
data - save?" box).

However, there doesn't seem to be a "BeforeLeav ing" event that fires
before focus changes from one node to another.

Am I missing something, or do I have to just code my way around it?

Cheers,

Andy D

I assume you are speaking of the Windows Forms Treeview species.
Treeview exposes a number of events, including MouseUp and MouseDown.
If you have stored the node a user is on, you can perform your test in the
MouseDown event, checking to see if they have "Mouse Downed" onto a new node,
and do your validation check and "popup" before allowing the rest of your
event handler code to execute.

Andrew,

Thre is no BeforeLeaving event, but there is BeforeSelect event that covers
exactly your case.

Handle this event and check SelectedNode (this is the node that currently is
selected). Do the validation and if the data haven't been saved yet, set the
event argument's property Cancel to *true* this will cancel changing the
selection and will keep the previously selected node.

There is no need to provide for interaction with other controls, forms, applications etc. Both the drag source item (a TreeNode) and the drag target item (another TreeNode) are...

Visual Studio 2003 .NET / C# I have a treeview object on a form which acts as the main menu controller for my application. the treeview is always in sight, and the form it is on acts as the main container for the whole application.

I thought the best way to handle navigating around would be to define...

I've got KeyDown coding and it fires when other keys are pressed, but when Enter is pressed, nothing. I'd like to support the (standard?) Windows behavior of executing DblClick processing when an item is selected and the user presses Enter I got focus to stop moving to the next control via Tools|Options|Keyboard|Move after enter....but now it just sits there and neither KeyDown nor KeyPress seems to catch it.

Hi all, I half-resolved my previous TreeView issue. Now I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to keep a TreeNode from being highlighted when it is left-clicked? It seems like there should be an event I could intercept, or a property I could set, but I'll be darned if I can figure out which one... Thanks, Michael C., MCDBA

I created a user control that is made up of a TreeView and a VScrollBar. I set the TreeView.FullRowSelect = True and it works as expected (full row is visible, appears on top of everything else) but only sometimes. Other times it appears behind the parent form and all that is visible is the last few characters of that row. Anyone know what might be causing this and how I can fix it? Thanks.

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.

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.
