Selection modes

Single or multiple nodes can be selected in a treeview. Selected nodes can be dragged within or outside the tree using OLE drag-and-drop. While using multiple-selection mode, you can specify whether to allow nodes to be selected within the same level or across different levels.

Styling

The style architecture employed by the advanced TreeView control lets users define unique styles for different parts of a tree. Each node then inherits these different styles before being rendered. The different styles users can specify in the tree by order of inheritance are:

  • Global: Defined in a tree view instance
  • Child: Defined in a parent node that applies to all immediate children of the parent node.
  • Node level: Defined for nodes at a particular level in the tree.
  • Node specific: Defined in each node. In addition, users can define base styles that can be inherited when defining any of these styles.

Sorting

Printing

Use TreeViewPrintDocument to convert the TreeView content into a printable document.

            TreeNodeAdv treeNode2 = new TreeNodeAdv("Node0", new TreeNodeAdv[] {
            treeNode1}){ Name = "Node0", Text = "Parent" };
            TreeNodeAdv treeNode3 = new TreeNodeAdv("Node3") { Name = "Node3", Text = "Child1" };
            TreeNodeAdv treeNode4 = new TreeNodeAdv("Node2", new TreeNodeAdv[] { treeNode3 }) { Name = "Node2", Text = "Parent1" };
            TreeNodeAdv treeNode5 = new TreeNodeAdv("Node5") { Name = "Node5", Text = "Child1" };
            TreeNodeAdv treeNode6 = new TreeNodeAdv("Node4", new TreeNodeAdv[] { treeNode5 }) { Name = "Node4", Text = "Parent2" };
            treeView.Nodes.AddRange(new TreeNodeAdv[] {
