Hi everyone, I'm afraid there's no way to do this in .NET so I'm looking for a PInvoke solution. I have a WinForm TreeView. Some nodes in the tree have a red or yellow background color (based on some business logic) while other nodes have the default (white) background color. This part works fine. When the user selects a node, however, the background color of the node is always SystemColors.Highlight (a dark blue) while the node is selected, regardless of its pre-selected background color. I would like the background color of red or yellow nodes to be something other than dark blue when these nodes are selected. So basically, I am looking for a way to have three different "highlight colors" when a node is selected. The highlight color will be different for red, yellow or default nodes. Does anyone know of a PInvoke way to do this? Thank you -- Tom Baxter

I have no idea what PInvoke does, but I set the back colour by subclassing and handling the CustomDraw notification in the CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT stage by setting TVCD.clrTextBk. -- Dean Earley (dean.earley@icode.co.uk) i-Catcher Development Team iCode Systems
