Example
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] The following example illustrates a customized TreeView. By inheriting the TreeView class, this custom version has all the functionality of a normal TreeView. Changing various property values in the constructor provides a unique appearance. Because the ShowPlusMinus property is set to false, the customized control also overrides the OnAfterSelect method so nodes can be expanded and collapsed when they are clicked.
[Visual Basic, C#, C++] A control that is customized in this way can be used throughout an organization, making it easy to provide a consistent interface without requiring the control properties to be specified in each individual project.
[Visual Basic] Public Class CustomizedTreeView Inherits TreeView Public Sub New() ' Customize the TreeView control by setting various properties. BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.CadetBlue FullRowSelect = True HotTracking = True Indent = 34 ShowPlusMinus = False ' The ShowLines property must be false for the FullRowSelect ' property to work. ShowLines = False End Sub 'New Protected Overrides Sub OnAfterSelect(ByVal e As TreeViewEventArgs) ' Confirm that the user initiated the selection. ' This prevents the first node from expanding when it is ' automatically selected during the initialization of ' the TreeView control. If e.Action <> TreeViewAction.Unknown Then If e.Node.IsExpanded Then e.Node.Collapse() Else e.Node.Expand() End If End If ' Remove the selection. This allows the same node to be ' clicked twice in succession to toggle the expansion state. SelectedNode = Nothing End Sub 'OnAfterSelect End Class 'CustomizedTreeView [C#] public class CustomizedTreeView : TreeView { public CustomizedTreeView() { // Customize the TreeView control by setting various properties. BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.CadetBlue; FullRowSelect = true; HotTracking = true; Indent = 34; ShowPlusMinus = false; // The ShowLines property must be false for the FullRowSelect // property to work. ShowLines = false; } protected override void OnAfterSelect(TreeViewEventArgs e) { // Confirm that the user initiated the selection. // This prevents the first node from expanding when it is // automatically selected during the initialization of // the TreeView control. if (e.Action != TreeViewAction.Unknown) { if (e.Node.IsExpanded) { e.Node.Collapse(); } else { e.Node.Expand(); } } // Remove the selection. This allows the same node to be // clicked twice in succession to toggle the expansion state. SelectedNode = null; } } [C++] public __gc class CustomizedTreeView : public TreeView { public: CustomizedTreeView() { // Customize the TreeView control by setting various properties. BackColor = System::Drawing::Color::CadetBlue; FullRowSelect = true; HotTracking = true; Indent = 34; ShowPlusMinus = false; // The ShowLines property must be false for the FullRowSelect // property to work. ShowLines = false; } protected: void OnAfterSelect(TreeViewEventArgs* e) { // Confirm that the user initiated the selection. // This prevents the first node from expanding when it is // automatically selected during the initialization of // the TreeView control. if (e->Action != TreeViewAction::Unknown) { if (e->Node->IsExpanded) { e->Node->Collapse(); } else { e->Node->Expand(); } } // Remove the selection.
