TreeNodeEventArgs Class

Definition

Provides data for the TreeNodeCheckChanged, TreeNodeCollapsed, TreeNodeDataBound, TreeNodeExpanded, and TreeNodePopulate events of the TreeView control. This class cannot be inherited.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to populate a node dynamically using the TreeNodeEventArgs object that is passed to the event-handling method.

Remarks

The TreeNodeEventArgs class is used to store the event data that is passed to an event-handling method.

For a list of the initial property values for an instance of the TreeNodeEventArgs class, see TreeNodeEventArgs(TreeNode).

For more information about how to handle events, see Handling and Raising Events.

Constructors

TreeNodeEventArgs(TreeNode)

Initializes a new instance of the TreeNodeEventArgs class using the specified TreeNode object.

Properties

Node

Gets the node that raised the event.

Methods

Equals(Object)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

(Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()

Serves as the default hash function.

(Inherited from Object)
GetType()

Gets the Type of the current instance.

(Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()
