TreeNode.EndEdit(Boolean) Method

Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Forms

Assembly:

System.Windows.Forms.dll

Ends the editing of the tree node label.

public:
 void EndEdit(bool cancel);

public void EndEdit (bool cancel);

member this.EndEdit : bool -> unit

Public Sub EndEdit (cancel As Boolean)

Parameters

cancel

Boolean

true if the editing of the tree node label text was canceled without being saved; otherwise, false.

Examples

The following code example lets the user edit nonroot tree nodes by using a ContextMenu. When the user right clicks the mouse, the TreeNode at that position is determined and stored in a variable named mySelectedNode. If a nonroot tree node was selected, it is put into an editable state, allowing the user to edit the node label. After the user stops editing the tree node label, the new label text is evaluated and saved. For this example, several characters are considered not valid in the label text. If one of the invalid characters is in the label string, or the string is empty, the user is notified of the error and the label is returned to its previous text.
