TreeView and FullRowSelect question

I created a user control that is made up of a TreeView and a VScrollBar. I
set the TreeView.FullRowSelect = True and it works as expected (full row is
visible, appears on top of everything else) but only sometimes. Other times
it appears behind the parent form and all that is visible is the last few
characters of that row.

Anyone know what might be causing this and how I can fix it? Thanks.
 
rh,

What do you mean by it appears behind the parent form? That says to me
that you can't see the tree view at all.

Can you post a picture of what you mean, or some code that shows the
error (or an example we can run)?
 
rh,

I see the image, but I am not sure what you want. The selection crosses
the full length of the control. How much longer do you want it to extend?

Or do you mean the tool tip is showing up behind the form? I think that
is what you are referring to.

Is your app stand-alone (meaning no special database stuff, supporting
files, etc, etc). If so, can you post it?

Just for grins, try calling the forms Refresh and/or Invalidate methods when
you select a node. I believe it's the treeview's AfterSelect event.

Yes, I am referring to the Tool Tip showing up behind the form instead of in
front of the form.

I tried recreating the code in order to make it stand alone so I can post
it, but the problem doesn't occur with my recreated code. I'll post the full
code as soon as I can.

For now, here's the code for the TreeView that I use:

Ok, so calling the Refresh and/or Invalidate had no effect. But, it gave me
the idea of trying other methods and I found that calling the forms Hide and
Show methods at the end of my code solves the problem (for whatever reason).
Thanks!
