VB.Net: Setting the SelectedNode and SelectedItem font in Treeview and Listview Controls

[Mbire]

Hi guys, I am struggling to change the font style of a selected node in a treeview and a selected item in a listview control, your help is very much appreciated. Regards:~

Got it and a bit embarrassed, its amazingly simple. here are my lines, I used the **AfterSelect** event of the TreeView to set the font of the node, its parent and all its ancestors to bold, when another node is selected, i set the new node and its ancestors to bold, while returning the previously selected node to the normal font of the TreeView . By removing the while... statement in both methods, only the selected node is set to bold and back to normal. I know there are most likely better solutions but this one works fine.

Dim previousSelectedNode as TreeNode
...
...
Private Sub Treeview1_AfterSelect(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As _ System.Windows.Forms.TreeViewEventArgs) Handles Treeview1.AfterSelect
        Dim xnode As TreeNode
        If previousSelectedNode IsNot Nothing Then DeSelectNode()
        e.Node.NodeFont = New Font(Treeview1.Font, FontStyle.Bold)
        xnode = e.Node
        While xnode.Parent IsNot Nothing
            xnode = xnode.Parent
            xnode.NodeFont = New Font(Treeview1.Font, FontStyle.Bold)
        End While
        previousSelectedNode = e.Node
End Sub

'Deselecting a node Private Sub DeSelectNode() previousSelectedNode.NodeFont = Treeview1.Font While previousSelectedNode.Parent IsNot Nothing previousSelectedNode = previousSelectedNode.Parent previousSelectedNode.NodeFont = Treeview1.Font End While End Sub
