Is there a way to avoid the default action of TreeNode expansion/contraction caused by double click? I can add an event handler to pop up my properties dialog on double click, but it has the unintended side-effect of toggling the expansion of that subtree. Thanks in advance, Brian

This pop up form will not show other contact person but will allow me to do editing or deleting on that specific person that I double clicked only. How to do that?
