Treeview images problem...

C

Hi All,

I have a problem with images in a Treeview.
I have a "closed folder" and "opened folder" set in the Treeview
settings but I also have two special
icons. A "closed folder with email" and an "opened folder with email",
they are index 3 and 4.
Now when I click a node and it has image 3 then it should show image 4
( the opened folder with email.)
That's working fine.
The problem is how can I change the image back to image 3 when I click
on another node?

Private Sub TreeView_AfterSelect(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.TreeViewEventArgs) Handles TreeView.AfterSelect

'if the user has a subscription on the folder then show
the right icon
Dim tn As TreeNode = TreeView.SelectedNode
If tn.SelectedImageIndex = 3 Then
tn.SelectedImageIndex = 4
tn.ImageIndex = 4
End If

End Sub

You can use the treeviews AfterCollapse and AfterExpand events...

Private Sub TreeView_AfterExpand (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As TreeViewEventArgs)
e.Node.SelectedImageIndex = 4
e.Node.ImageIndex=4
End Sub

Private Sub TreeView_AfterCollapse (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As TreeViewEventArgs)
e.Node.SelectedImageIndex = 3
e.Node.ImageIndex=3
End Sub

This becomes a little more complex if you have multiple types of nodes with
different open close images. In that case, I usually create a base node type,
and then create sub nodes that set the actual image indexs. Something like:

MustInherit Class MyTreeNodeBase
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.TreeNode

' constructors


Private _openIndex As Integer
Private _closeIndex As Integer

Protected Property OpenIndex As Integer
Get
Return _openIndex
End Get
Set (ByVal value As Integer)
_openIndex = value
End Set
End Property

Protected Property CloseIndex As Integer
Get
Return _closeIndex
End Get
Set (ByVal value As Integer)
_closeIndex = value
End Set
End Property

Public Sub SetOpenIcon()
Me.SelectedImageIndex = OpenIndex
Me.ImageIndex = OpenIndex
End Sub

Public Sub SetCloseIcon()
Me.SelectedImageIndex = CloseIndex
Me.ImageIndex = CloseIndex
End Sub
End Class

Class FolderNode
Inherits MyTreeNodeBase

Public Sub New ()
OpenIndex = 1
CloseIndex = 0
End Sub
End Class

Class EmailNode
Inherits MyTreeNodeBase

Pulbic Sub New()
OpenIndex = 4
CloseIndex = 3
End Sub

End Class

Then in the events, it would look something like:

Private Sub TreeView_AfterExpand (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As TreeViewEventArgs)
Dim tn As MyTreeNodeBase = TryCast (e.Node, MyTreeNodeBase)
If tn IsNot Nothing Then
tn.SetOpenIcon()
End If
End Sub

Private Sub TreeView_AfterCollapse (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As TreeViewEventArgs)
Dim tn As MyTreeNodeBase = TryCast (e.Node, MyTreeNodeBase)
If tn IsNot Nothing Then
tn.SetCloseIcon()
End If
End Sub

Anyway - keep in mind that this is all air code, so there could be some minor
syntactical errors in there :)

Tom,

thanks a lot for your code.
I implemented it but still see no difference.
Should I change something from my original code.
Maybe remove the images from the settings of the treeview?

Tom,

sorry for being a newbie but I don't know how to fit the Form_load
code into my building up the Treeview reading from the database:

Private Sub LoadTree()
' TODO: Add code to add items to the treeview

Dim sql As String = "SELECT * FROM Kabinet"
Dim cmd As New OleDbCommand(sql, conn)
Dim dr As OleDbDataReader
conn.Open()
dr = cmd.ExecuteReader()

'if this is a rebuild then we don't have to add new columns to
the datatable
If dt.Columns.Count = 0 Then
dt.Columns.Add("ID", GetType(Integer))
dt.Columns.Add("Name", GetType(String))
dt.Columns.Add("IDParent", GetType(Integer))
End If

If dt.Rows.Count = 0 Then
While dr.Read()
dt.Rows.Add(dr.Item("Id"), dr.Item("foldername"),
dr.Item("parent-Id"))
End While
End If
AddNodes(TreeView.Nodes, dt.Select("ISNULL(IDParent, -1) =
-1"))

dr.Close()
conn.Close()

End Sub
Private Sub AddNodes( _
ByVal Nodes As TreeNodeCollection, ByVal rows As DataRow())

Dim row As DataRow
For Each row In rows
Dim Node As New Node(row)
Nodes.Add(Node)
If Node.Text = "Kabinet" Then
Node.SelectedImageIndex = 2
Node.ImageIndex = 2
End If
'if the user has a subscription on the folder then change
the icon
Dim ID As String = DirectCast(Node.row("ID"), Integer)
If CheckAbonnement(ID) = True Then
Node.SelectedImageIndex = 3
Node.ImageIndex = 3
End If
Dim SubRows = dt.Select("IDParent = " & CInt(row("ID")))
