Gets or sets a value indicating whether the TreeNode should be drawn by the operating system rather than being owner drawn.

public:
 property bool DrawDefault { bool get(); void set(bool value); };

public bool DrawDefault { get; set; }

member this.DrawDefault : bool with get, set

Public Property DrawDefault As Boolean

Property Value

Boolean

true if the node should be drawn by the operating system; false if the node will be drawn in the event handler. The default value is false.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of this property. In the example, a handler for the TreeView.DrawNode event draws the node tag and a custom highlight color manually for the selected node. Nodes that are not selected do not need customization. For unselected nodes, the DrawDefault property is set to true so that they will be drawn by the operating system and will not have a customized appearance.

Note

If you draw a node manually and also set the DrawDefault property to true, some or all of what you draw may be overwritten by the operating system.

For the complete example, see the DrawTreeNodeEventArgs overview reference topic.

Remarks

Set this property to true for nodes that you do not want to customize when you handle the DrawNode event. For example, this is useful when you want to customize only nodes that are in a specific state.
