TreeView DrawNode problem

[John]

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 :

private void tvParts_DrawNod e(object sender, DrawTreeNodeEve ntArgs e)
{
Brush fontbrush;
Icon ic;
Font font;

if (ilItemTypeIcon s.Images.Contai nsKey((e.Node as
itemTreeNode).i temtype_name))
ic = Icon.FromHandle (((Bitmap)ilIte mTypeIcons.Imag es[(e.Node as
itemTreeNode).i temtype_name]).GetHicon());
else
ic =
Icon.FromHandle (((Bitmap)ilIte mTypeIcons.Imag es["Default"]).GetHicon());

if ((e.State & TreeNodeStates. Selected) == TreeNodeStates. Selected)
fontbrush = System.Drawing. Brushes.White;
else
fontbrush = System.Drawing. Brushes.Black;

font = e.Node.NodeFont ;
if (font == null)
font = e.Node.TreeView .Font;

e.Graphics.Draw Icon(ic, e.Bounds.X, e.Bounds.Y);
e.Graphics.Draw String(e.Node.T ext, font, fontbrush, ic.Width +
e.Bounds.X, e.Bounds.Y);

}

I think your problem is with the override of Graphics.DrawSt ring you're
using. It would appear that since you only passing an x and y location it
uses the current clip region to clip the text.

Try calculating a rectangle and using the DrawString override that takes a
rectangle rather than an x and y.

See the example with the TreeView.DrawNo de Event [1] docs on msdn for an
example of calculating that bounds rectangle.

How about using a StateImageList instead? That way you can have two images
for every node

That might be the cleaner solution, thanks.
