TreeNode.BackColor Property

Gets or sets the background color of the tree node.

[Visual Basic]
Public Property BackColor As Color
[C#]
public Color BackColor {get; set;}
[C++]
public: __property Color get_BackColor();
public: __property void set_BackColor(Color);
[JScript]
public function get BackColor() : Color;
public function set BackColor(Color);

Property Value

The background Color of the tree node.

Remarks

If the BackColor property is set to a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic), the Color used is the BackColor property value of the TreeView control that the tree node is assigned to.

Example

[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example highlights any TreeNode objects a TreeView control that has its Checked property set to true by setting its BackColor property to Yellow. This code assumes you have a TreeView control on a Form with a collection of TreeNode objects.

[Visual Basic] 
Public Sub HighlightCheckedNodes()
   Dim countIndex As Integer = 0
   Dim selectedNode As String = "Selected customer nodes are : "
   Dim myNode As TreeNode
   For Each myNode In  myTreeView.Nodes(0).Nodes
      ' Check whether the tree node is checked.
      If myNode.Checked Then
         ' Set the node's backColor.
         myNode.BackColor = Color.Yellow
         selectedNode += myNode.Text + " "
         countIndex += 1
      Else
         myNode.BackColor = Color.White
      End If
   Next myNode

   If countIndex > 0 Then
      MessageBox.Show(selectedNode)
   Else
      MessageBox.Show("No nodes are selected")
   End If
End Sub

[C#] 
public void HighlightCheckedNodes()
{
   int countIndex = 0;
   string selectedNode = "Selected customer nodes are : ";
   foreach (TreeNode myNode in myTreeView.Nodes[0].Nodes)
   {
      // Check whether the tree node is checked.
      if(myNode.Checked)
      {
         // Set the node's backColor.
         myNode.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
         selectedNode += myNode.Text+" ";
         countIndex++;
      }
      else
         myNode.BackColor = Color.White;
   }

   if(countIndex > 0)
      MessageBox.Show(selectedNode);
   else
      MessageBox.Show("No nodes are selected");
}

[C++] 
public:
    void HighlightCheckedNodes() {
        int countIndex = 0;
        String* selectedNode = S"Selected customer nodes are : ";
        IEnumerator* myEnum = myTreeView->Nodes->Item[0]->Nodes->GetEnumerator();
        while (myEnum->MoveNext()) {
            TreeNode* myNode = __try_cast<TreeNode*>(myEnum->Current);

            // Check whether the tree node is checked.
            if (myNode->Checked) {
                // Set the node's backColor.
                myNode->BackColor = Color::Yellow;
                selectedNode = String::Concat(selectedNode, myNode->Text, S" ");
                countIndex++;
            } else
                myNode->BackColor = Color::White;
        }

        if (countIndex > 0)
            MessageBox::Show(selectedNode);
        else
            MessageBox::Show(S"No nodes are selected");
    }
