Customization of TreeNode

Question

hi,

i have a treeview with checkboxes, images and text.

i need to change the spacing between the checkbox, image and the node text.

Must i use the DrawNode event and draw the checkbox, image and the text at new positions?

Does someone have a example code for this problem?

thx!

Hi Miccza,

Welcome to the MSDN Forum.

According to your description, it seems that you want to put some space among the control.

If I have misunderstood anything, please feel free to let me know.

You can try set some space at the header of the string, e.g, change the "subitem" to "            subitem".

There is a sample code about how to use drawnode event:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.treeview.drawnode.aspx

And there is a sample about treeview with picture:http://www.codeproject.com/KB/tree/TreeWithColumns.aspx

I hope this will be helpful.

If anything is unclear, please feel free to let me know.

Best regards,

Answer 2

the solution with the DrawNode-Event is too oversized, because i have to redraw the tree-lines, checkboxes, pictures and the text again.

i only need to change the spacing between them.

do you know how to set margin/padding between:

lines and checkbox

checkbox and picture

picture and text

Hi Miccza,

There is no such kind of margin to set. Please take a look at the code sample, it is not as so diffcult as you image.
