To make the visual display of the data more appealing and logical I'm trying to set the background color based on the depth of the item being displayed. This would make all items at odd depths displayed with the same background color and would improve the readability of the data being displayed.

My code works properly for the depth, except the left and right portion of the cirtualtree are not showing the updated color. Below is a simple example that demonstrates the problem -add the code to the getCellData event and you can see the problem.


Style oNewStyle = new Style(e.CellData.EvenStyle);
oNewStyle.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(255,0,0);

e.CellData.EvenStyle = oNewStyle;
e.CellData.OddStyle = oNewStyle; //oOddStyle;

Also how would you drag data from a virtual tree to Excel or Notepad ?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

You would also need to set the style for the whole row by handling GetRowData event.

If you are dragging data to Excel or Notepad then the built in mechanism for dragging Rows around and between Virtual Tree won't help much - because Excel and Notepad won't understand the data format (an array of rows) being dragged. So you will need to implement your own mechanism. You can do this by creating a custom RowWidget class (see the section in the help on Custom Widgets) and overriding the DoDragDrop method.

The default implementation is:
