Locking checkboxes in a Treeview control

[Anis]

hi all,

i'm searching for a solution to this simple problem for a while but didn't find it..(but i'm sure the solution is simple :-)

i would like to prevent the user from modifying the checkbox status of a treeview..(like a read-only mode)
i tried this:


private Sub TreeView_NodeCheck(byval Node as MSComctlLib.Node)

if Node.Checked = true then
Node.Checked = false
end if

End Sub




but no way...can someone give me a hint ?
thanx

'You can play with this
private Sub TreeView1_MouseDown(Button as Integer, Shift as Integer, x as Single, y as Single)
TreeView1.Enabled = false
Call TreeView1_MouseUp(Button, Shift, x, y)
End Sub

private Sub TreeView1_MouseUp(Button as Integer, Shift as Integer, x as Single, y as Single)
Dim n as Node
TreeView1.Enabled = true
for Each n In TreeView1.Nodes
'This triggers the NodeCheck event
n.Checked = false
next
End Sub

This means that everytime that i click somewhere on the treeview window, the program will uncheck all the nodes ? (that is not exactly what i want but ok, what i want is just keep the status..)

isn't it an 'expensive' solution ? isn't it the unique solution ?

thanx
Anis

You sure you are form Belgium?

About keeping status, you may have an array where to store informations about checked-unchecked node, and in mouseup event restore these informations.
Yes, it is expensive, but if you have less than 30 nodes you will not notice it. I have not found another solution.
Have a nice day,
