I don't use a data source for a RadTreeView. Instead, I add and remove the nodes individually. I use OnFilter to specify which nodes to be shown. When some nodes are hidden, in a part of my program, I need the list of ALL nodes including the hidden ones, while Nodes includes just the shown...

If you are using MFC (or even pure Win32) then I would suggest using a splitter window with a treeview in one pane and a list view in the other. Alternatively you could show a dialog with a listbox on every tree node selection. Your question is really too general to give a definitive answer in...

Try by setting the minwidth on the treeview elements and then right align the buttons.
19 Dec 2011 by Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov
I won't advise you to do so. You could really invent some better UI design, really. The tree structure will be less visible, but what's more important, you will have a change to truncate a part of the item text; and it's pretty hard to adjust the room taken by the text on left and measure a left...

You need to make a copy[^] of the original before clearing it. Remember, when you initialise the reference with:NewTreeCollection = MyTreeview.Nodes;that NewTreeCollection is merely a reference (pointer) to the original, not a copy of it.

You're "global" class object is just a reference to your local object. Whatever operations you perform on your global object, also get performed on your local object (and vice-versa). Think of your global object as a pointer to your local object, not a copy of the object.In order to do what...

That's because you are setting the color with a div element. Once that's been rendered in the client/browser, it will remain there. Your else block of your code will still hold the Text with the element to it. You would need to implement a bit of text parsing to resolve that. Here's a...
