How to put a combobox in a treeview's node

Hi, I need to have in my treeview some nodes with normaly text and also a comboBox with some others values…

is it possible?

thank you for help!

I use NetAdvantage ver. 13.1.20131.2124

Hello Alberto,

Thank you for posting to Infragistics Community!

Please, keep in mind that NetAdvantage ver. 13.1.20131.2124 is long expired and is not eligible for developer support services. Please, check out our Supported Environments page for a complete list of the currently active versions.

Having this in mind, I have prepared a sample demonstrating how your requirement can be achieved with the UltraTree component form Ultimate UI for Windows Forms. It does, however, target the latest version – 22.2. My suggestion is to download a Free Trial with the latest version and test the UltraTree capabilities with it.

So, to address your question, I believe you will find the Embeddable Editors Overview topic for the UltraTree topic from our documentation helpful on the matter as well as the “Set an Embeddable Editor” one.

Please, also note that according to the “Allow Cell Editing in WinTree” topic, editing nodes by clicking on them is only applicable to nodes that display columns. For better illustration, the sample creates and populates the tree nodes in code, as well as creates ColumnSets by following the approach from the “Adding Columns Using Freeform Style” topic. Of course, everything could also be setup via the designer.

Finally, an UltraComboEditor is set as the EditorComponent of one of the columns.

In conclusion, please, check out the below attached sample on your side and let me know if you require any further assistance on the matter.

Thank you very much Bozhidara for your help ans suggests. Actually the embedded way make the entire node like the control associated, but i need that it was togeder the text node. By the way, is there a way to make only one word of the node text underlined and clickable??

thanks in advance!

Hi Alberto,

It seems the sample attachment did not get through with my previous reply, so I am reattaching it. Please, let me know if you are able to see and access it.

What I can suggest in order to avoid displaying the combo drop down button at all times would be to set its DropDownButtonDisplayStyle property to “OnMouseEnter”. In this way, the node’s cells will appear as normal textboxes, nevertheless the user will still have an indication on hovering that the values could be edited by choosing from a combo. Here is the result:

I am suggesting this as I am not sure if there would be a straightforward approach to set a textbox for display and a combo for edit mode separately. Additonally, in case my understanding of your requirement is incorrect, please, do elaborate further.

Regarding your second question, you could use an UltraFormattedTextEditor or an UltraFormattedLinkLabel control to display formatted text. The sample also demonstrates this.

                node.Cells["Column3"].Value = "Column 3 Value";
//...
 UltraFormattedTextEditor ufll = new UltraFormattedTextEditor();
            this.ultraTree1.ColumnSettings.ColumnSets[0].Columns["Column3"].EditorComponent = ufll;
