How to sumulate "Click" event w/ TreeView control (.Net CF)

G

Guest

I would like to implement the following functionality:

When a user taps a (child) treeNode, an event fires which allows me to get
the selected child treeNode's TAG object, determine it's values, and then
"do something else"...

Intellisense shows the "Click" event, however, this does nothing. I assume
it's not supported in .Net CF?

I see via Design Mode in VS 2003 that the only feasible event is
"AfterSelected". This works, however, it loops through all of the the
treeNodes. I had thought that i could cancel this event via the
TreeViewCancelEventArgs class, however, i cannot manage to make this work.
"Consuming Events" is slightly beyond my understanding. Can
someone provide an example on how to make this event "cancel" rather than
letting it loop through all of my nodes?

Currently, when the AfterSelect event loops though nodes which have not been
selected, i "avoid" exit the event by testing:

if (e.Action ==TreeViewAction.Unknown) return;

If there's a better way to simulate the "click" event, other than
AfterSelect, i am all "ears".

Thanks,

There is no Click event; AfterSelect is your only option unfortunately. Vote
for NodeMouseClick to be supported in CF 2.0:

AfterSelect will fire once for a node when it gets selected. The only
problem is that once it is selected you get no more events when the user
taps on it again.

I don't see the "loop through all of my nodes" behaviour you describe. Can
you post a sample that exhibits this behaviour?

Dan, thanks. The fact that AfterSelect fires once for a node, renders this
option useless for my needs. i've attached the gist of my code so that you
can see (maybe) why the SelectAfter event loops through all nodes...

The code you posted seems to be missing the LoadSubjectDataForm method. Does
that do anything with the tree? As much as I like to think of myself as a
human compiler <joke>, I'd rather you posted a small *complete* sample that
I can run (not just code for me to read) :)

On a more serious note, if you need an event of the treeview when an already
selected node is touched you are simply out of luck (and so am I) hence I
pointed you to ladybug.

Note that clearing a treeview and adding/removing treenodes can change the
selected node and will result in AfterSelect being raised multiple times. If
you have a sample that demonstrates a treenode being tapped once by the user
and as a result the AfterSelect firing more than once, please post it.
