- Attributes
Exceptions
value
is less than -1.
Examples
The following code example creates and assigns an ImageList to a TreeView control and fills the TreeView control with TreeNode objects. The tree nodes are assigned images from the ImageList that are displayed when in a selected or unselected state. This example requires that you have a Form that contains a TreeView, and an ArrayList that contains Customer
objects that each contain Order
objects. It is also assumed that the Customer
and Order
objects are defined.
ref class Customer
{
public:
ArrayList^ CustomerOrders;
String^ CustomerName;
Customer( String^ myName )
{
CustomerName = myName;
CustomerOrders = gcnew ArrayList;
}
};
ref class Order
{
public:
String^ OrderID;
Order( String^ myOrderID )
{
this->OrderID = myOrderID;
}
};
void FillTreeView()
{
// Load the images in an ImageList.

myImageList->Images->Add( Image::FromFile( "Default.gif" ) );

myImageList->Images->Add( Image::FromFile( "SelectedOrder.gif" ) );

// Set the TreeView control's default image and selected image indexes.

Remarks
The SelectedImageIndex value is the index of an Image stored in the ImageList assigned to the ImageList property.
Note
When setting the SelectedImageIndex property at run time, the TreeView handle is recreated (see Control.RecreateHandle) to update the control's appearance. This causes all tree nodes to be collapsed, except for the selected TreeNode.
SelectedImageKey and SelectedImageIndex are mutually exclusive, meaning if one is set, the other is set to an invalid value and ignored. If you set the SelectedImageKey property, the SelectedImageIndex property is automatically set to -1. Alternatively, if you set the SelectedImageIndex property, the SelectedImageKey is automatically set to an empty string ("").
