TreeNode text length

Can you give the code of the form

prakash

I didn't have problems setting text of lengths 60-70 chars for standard font size on tree nodes. As Prakash mentioned, it would help if you could post the code.

Imran.

Here is a simple example form to illustrate my problem.  In this form I have placed a TreeView and added a single node with a long line of text.  I noticed when I did this that the problem seems to revolve around the setting of the nodefont property.  If I comment out the line where I set the nodefont, the entire line of text displays properly.  But when I set the nodefont property, the last few characters get chopped off:

Public Class Form1
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "

    Public Sub New()
        MyBase.New()

        'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
        InitializeComponent()

        'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call

    End Sub

    'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
    Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
        If disposing Then
            If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
                components.Dispose()
            End If
        End If
        MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
    End Sub

    'Required by the Windows Form Designer
    Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer

    'NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Windows Form Designer
    'It can be modified using the Windows Form Designer.  
    'Do not modify it using the code editor.
    Friend WithEvents TreeView1 As System.Windows.Forms.TreeView
    <System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()
        Me.TreeView1 = New System.Windows.Forms.TreeView
        Me.SuspendLayout()
        '
        'TreeView1
        '
        Me.TreeView1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill
        Me.TreeView1.ImageIndex = -1
        Me.TreeView1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(0, 0)
        Me.TreeView1.Name = "TreeView1"
        Me.TreeView1.SelectedImageIndex = -1
        Me.TreeView1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(292, 266)
        Me.TreeView1.TabIndex = 0
        '
        'Form1
        '
        Me.AutoScaleBaseSize = New System.Drawing.Size(5, 13)
        Me.ClientSize = New System.Drawing.Size(292, 266)
        Me.Controls.Add(Me.TreeView1)
        Me.Name = "Form1"
        Me.Text = "Form1"
        Me.ResumeLayout(False)

    End Sub

#End Region

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim tvn As TreeNode
        tvn = Me.TreeView1.Nodes.Add("This is a very long line of text to place in a node")
        tvn.NodeFont = New Drawing.Font("Arial", 9, FontStyle.Regular)
    End Sub
End Class

It looks like this is a bug in treeview.  As you suggest Imran, setting the font for the tree overall allows you to display the entire line of text in the desired font.  However, it seems that if you want to have various fonts to display for various nodes, you have to set the treeview font up front to the biggest one you will want to display, and then change fonts for individual nodes as they are added.  If you try to increase a font size of a node to a larger size than the treeview's font, it will clip the text to the length it would display in the treeview's font.

Indeed that does look like a bug.

here's a discussion that I found while googling for this issue:

thought that might of interest to you.

hope it helps resolve your issue (atleast temporarily).

Imran.
