customized checkbox in child node and no checkbox in parent node in a treeview

Mon, 04 Aug 2008 15:03:25 Z

hi all,
I want to add a customized checkbox in child node and no checkbox in parent node in a treeviewstructure in c#. But i don't want to use DrawDefault property.Can anyone help me in doing this. I have tried the following code but cannot position the checkbox and it is not working.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Xml;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;

namespace TreeViewProj
{
    public partial class Form2 : Form
    {
          public Form2()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.treeView1.CheckBoxes = false;
            this.treeView1.ShowLines = true;
            this.treeView1.ShowPlusMinus = true;
            this.treeView1.ShowNodeToolTips = true;
            this.treeView1.ShowRootLines = true;
            this.treeView1.DrawMode = System.Windows.Forms.TreeViewDrawMode.OwnerDrawAll;

this.treeView1.DrawNode += new System.Windows.Forms.DrawTreeNodeEventHandler(this.treeView_DrawNode);

            for (int i = 0; i < 3; ++i)
            {

this.treeView1.Nodes.Add(string.Format("First level {0}", i));

for (int j = 0; j < 2; j++)
{

this.treeView1.Nodes[i].Nodes.Add(string.Format("Second level {0}", j));

for (int k = 0; k < 1; k++)
{

this.treeView1.Nodes[i].Nodes[j].Nodes.Add(string.Format("Third level {0}", k));

}

}
}

        }
        private void treeView_DrawNode(object sender, DrawTreeNodeEventArgs e)
        {


            if (HasChild(e.Node))
            {

Color backColor, foreColor;

if ((e.State & TreeNodeStates.Selected) == TreeNodeStates.Selected)
{

backColor = SystemColors.Highlight;

foreColor = SystemColors.HighlightText;

}

else if ((e.State & TreeNodeStates.Hot) == TreeNodeStates.Hot)
{

backColor = SystemColors.HotTrack;

foreColor = SystemColors.HighlightText;

}

else
{

backColor = e.Node.BackColor;

foreColor = e.Node.ForeColor;

                }

                using (SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush(backColor))
                {

e.Graphics.FillRectangle(brush, e.Node.Bounds);
//e.Graphics.FillPath(brush, GraphicsPath p);

}

                  TextRenderer.DrawText(e.Graphics, e.Node.Text, this.treeView1.Font, e.Node.Bounds, foreColor, backColor);
                 if ((e.State & TreeNodeStates.Focused) == TreeNodeStates.Focused)
                {

ControlPaint.DrawFocusRectangle(e.Graphics, e.Node.Bounds, foreColor, backColor);

}

e.DrawDefault = true;
}

            else
            {

               // e.DrawDefault = true;
                CheckBox checkbox1 = new CheckBox();
                checkbox1.Appearance = Appearance.Normal;
                checkbox1.AutoCheck = false;

                this.treeView1.Controls.Add(checkbox1);
                //checkbox1.Size.Height = 1;
                //checkbox1.Size.Width = 1;

                checkbox1.Show();

                //checkbox1.Anchor = AnchorStyles.Left;
                //this.treeView1.CheckBoxes = true;
                    }

        }


        private static bool HasChild(TreeNode node)
        {
            int nodeCount = 0;
            foreach (TreeNode x in node.Nodes)
                nodeCount++;
            if (nodeCount != 0)
                return true;
            else
                return false;

}

}
}

Thanks in advance
