Just wanted to add I am having the same problem in 10.2.

We were able to solve this using the suggested workaround.

Thank you.

HI,

  I am just  following up on this issue. Please let me know if you require further assistance regarding this forum post.

This seems pretty straightforward. You are attempting to remove the node while it is in the process of exiting edit mode and the tree probably expects that node to still be there after the event has fired. That would indeed be a bug. But if I am right, you can work around it pretty easily by using a BeginInvoke to call a method that removes the node, rather than removing it from directly inside the AfterLabelEdit event.

I have the same problem using 9.2.  Unfortunately, I have no way, other than forums, to submit the issue, given that our support has expired.  So, I hope someone will take a look and fix this issue:

The exception we receive is:

System.NullReferenceException occurred

  InnerException:

This occurs when we call node.Remove on the only node in the tree from within the processing of the AfterLabelEdit event:

        /// <summary>

        /// After an edit is complete the TAG should be updated

        /// </summary>

        /// <param name="sender"></param>

        /// <param name="e"></param>

        private void subjectCollectionUltraTree_AfterLabelEdit(object sender, NodeEventArgs e)

        {

            if (e.TreeNode != null)

            {

                UltraTreeNode node = e.TreeNode;

                SubjectCollectionNodeDO subjectNode = e.TreeNode.ToSubjectCollectionNode();

                if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(node.Text.Trim()))

                {

                    subjectNode.Value = node.Text;

                    subjectNode.UniqueGuid = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();

                    node.Key = subjectNode.UniqueKey;

                    node.Tag = subjectNode;

                    node.Text = subjectNode.TreeText(DisplayDO);

                    this.subjectCollectionUltraTree.SelectedNodes.Clear();

                    node.Selected = true;

                }

                else

                {

                    this.InformationMessage = ExceptionManager.GetExceptionItem(ExceptionItems.Exception1169).Message;

                    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(subjectNode.UniqueKey))

                    {

                        node.Remove();

                    }

                    else

                    {

                        node.Text = subjectNode.TreeText(this.DisplayDO);

                    }

                }

            }

        }

In this case, the user has pressed a button, we've created an UltraTreeNode and inserted it into the UltraTree.Nodes Collection:

        /// <summary>

        /// This will handle the click event for the 'New Heading' button.

        /// </summary>

        /// <param name="sender"></param>

        /// <param name="e"></param>

        private void btnNewHeading_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            if (this.DesignMode == false)

            {

                UltraTreeNode node = new UltraTreeNode

                {

                    AllowCellEdit = AllowCellEdit.Full,

                    Override = new Override

                    {

                        NodeStyle = NodeStyle.CheckBox,

                    }

                };

                this.subjectCollectionUltraTree.Nodes.Insert(0, node);

                node.BeginEdit();

            }

        }

Then, without typing any further characters, the user presses the escape key to cancel the edit.  This causes the _AfterLabelEdit method to be called and we attempt to remove this newly added, but empty node by called node.Remove().

It should be noted that if the UltraTree already has more than 1 root node, the exception doesn't occur.  This only occurs when the root node is the only node in the tree.
