TreeView.GetNodeAt problem

[Alan T]

I have a dragdrop event to capture the treenode that trigger that event.
However, I always get the returned node is null.

private void trvEmployee_DragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)

{
TreeNode targetNode;

MessageBox.Show(e.X.ToString + " -- " + e.Y.ToString());
targetNode = trvEmployee.GetNodeAt(e.X, e.Y);
if (targetNode == null)
{ MessageBox.Show(" null");
}
else
{ MessageBox.Show(target.Text);
}
}

I don't know why it showed the e.X and e.Y have valid values but the
targetNode is null.

However, if I hardcode the
targetNode = trvEmployee.GetNodeAt(e.X, e.Y);
to e.X and e.Y to some value, it showed the node.
Note, the AllowDrop perperty has been set to true already.

When you receive your coordinates, they're actually with respect to the
screen. For you treeview to understand you need to change them to the
"client" equvalent.

Point newPoint = treeView1.PointToClient( new Point(e.X, e.Y));

MessageBox.Show(e.X.ToString() + " -- " + e.Y.ToString());

targetNode = treeView1.GetNodeAt(newPoint.X, newPoint.Y);

if (targetNode == null)

Hi thanks.
I tried using one statement:
targetNode = treeView1.GetNodeAt(newPoint(e.X, e.Y));

Is there any differences from yours ?

 

[Michael]

yeah, you need this

Point newPoint = treeView1.PointToClient( new Point(e.X, e.Y));

Thanks Michael.
It works.

I missed this critical statement as you mentioned.
