Treeview strange behavior

Hello,

I am in the process of converting a project from VB6 to DotNet and have
noticed that some strange behavior with the TreeView Control

(1) when setting the NodeFont property to Bold I cannot see the complete
text.
(2) when selecting a child node that has a different icon from its parent,
it takes on the parents' icon.

Has anyone else experienced these problems and is there a work around?

Thanks,
Dan

Do you use the new Windows Forms TreeView control or the old ActiveX
component (Microsoft Windows Common Controls)?

I am using the .NET version.

I found the answer to both of my questions, (1) is a bug, I need to set the
treeview Font to bold and then set the individual nodes to regular in order
to see the bolded nodes (2) I was unaware of the SelectedImageIn dex property
of the treeNode object and need to set it manually every time a node is
selected.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi, We are currently experiencing a pretty strange behavior with TreeView control that comes with IE webcontrols. Actually when used on OS other than XP, everything works fine but when it is use on XP, the line that links a child node to his parent is not drawing and after that happens, the whole web application seems to be "freezed". Also, this problem does not happen on all XP machine. So there must be a fix or something that...

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

Hi, I have the following problem. I have a project that uses the Treeview control. The code supports drag-drop functionality for moving nodes between different levels and for changing their order within a level. On Windows 2000 Server everything works fine. When I put it on the 2003 Server, everything worked exactly the same except for changing the order of nodes within a level. If this were an error in code, I'd expect it to not work...

Hi All, I have a form that displays hierarchical categories in a treeview. Ok so far so good. What I was to do is have users be able to select a node in the treeview as part of filling out the form. I only want to allow single selection, so using checkboxes is out of the question. It works as is, but it makes the form very cumbersome if every time that a user selects a node, the whole page has to reload. Is there a way to have a node...

Hi all, I'm testing new versions of our suite of software products on different Windows platforms and found this strange problem the other day. When running the test release on a clean Windows XP platform, the program adds nodes to a treeview control which represent records stored in an Access database.

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,...
