spice the boring default winforms treeview appearance up a bit...I am using the Winforms Treeview right out of the toolbox with all the
default settings. It looks very boring. What can I do to dress it up and make it look at least kind of cool? I remember hearing one time that one line of code would give it a Windows XP look and feel. But I can't remember what that was. I would like to give it some depth or 3D effect with just a little bit of system color scheme behind the node boxes. Thank you for any ideas. -hazz Hi,
I believe that you are looking for application.enablevisualstyles. Unfortunately that doesnt do much for the treeview control. You might need to use a third party control to see much of a difference.

For a start I'll look at the imagelist collection and see what I can do there. And if I could just make those boxes at the nodes look a little 3D'ish, that might help. -hazz Show quoteHide quote "Ken Tucker [MVP]" <vb***@bellsouth.net> wrote in message news:OIK5QMjMFHA.1436@TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl... > Hi, > > I believe that you are looking for application.enablevisualstyles. > Unfortunately that doesnt do much for the treeview control.

Application.enablevisualstyles will do that on an windows xp computer. Dont forget to call application.doevents after you enable the visual styles.

application.doevents? I included these two lines on by .net 1.1 based vs.net app but didn't notice any difference whatsoever in the appearance. But you got me pointed in the right direction. -hazz Show quoteHide quote "Ken Tucker [MVP]" <vb***@bellsouth.net> wrote in message news:OojSVKkMFHA.1176@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... > Hi, > > Application.enablevisualstyles will do that on an windows xp > computer.
