thanks for that info, but that is not the same as I was asking for. I dont have columns in my tree, just single nodes that I want to display a drop down containing my custom control as an editor when the user clicks the tree node. I dont want the node height to be the height of the editor, it should remain the same default size. Can you provide a snippet of how to get a UltraTreeNode to be the host of the dropdown with the custom editor. I cant even seem to get the node to go into edit mode despite setting CellClickAction, LabelEdit, and AllowCellEdit to the appropriate values.

thanks

Since you are not using cells (columns), CellClickAction and AllowCellEdit have no meaning here. The only thing you need to set to make the nodes editable is LabelEdit.

To get a dropdown in a node, you can use UltraTextEditor. Use the ButtonsRight collection to add a DropDownEditorButton and assign a Control to it. Then set the EditorControl on the node's Override to the UltraTextEditor.

OK I tried using a simple UltraTextEditor and added a button to the ButtonsRight collection, and set the dropdown button's control to my custom editor. I see the drop down button on each node, but it never drops down or enters edit mode. I must be missing some setting...here is what I have

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){

DropDownEditorButton b = new DropDownEditorButton();
b.Control = myEditorControl1;
ultraTextEditor1.ButtonsRight.Add(b);

ultraTree1.Override.EditorComponent = ultraTextEditor1;
ultraTree1.Override.UseEditor = DefaultableBoolean.True;
ultraTree1.Override.ShowEditorButtons = ShowEditorButtons.Always;
ultraTree1.Override.LabelEdit = DefaultableBoolean.True;
}

What else do I have to set to made the nodes start to edit?

thanks!

Hi,

Hm, I'm not sure why it's not working for you. I just tested this out with basically the same code you have here and it works fine for me.

I'm attaching my test sample so you can run it and see if the same code works for you.

I got it working using your example but that is not the look and fell I was trying to achieve...

I would prefer if you simply expanded a nodes expansion indicator...a user control would appear...

The whole editor thing is work around that doesn't work for me...

I wish you guys would simply include a control property and node type that accommodated replacing the node's nodes collection with a pane or panel to dump a control onto...

This would vastly improve the usability of the tree control...

I am using V2 8.3 and it does not drop down for me using the following:

UltraTreeNode addNode;
            addNode = rootNode.Add("fields", "Fields");
            addNode.Override.EditorControl = this.ultraTextEditor1;
            addNode.Override.UseEditor = Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean.True;
            addNode.Override.ShowEditorButtons = ShowEditorButtons.Always;
            addNode.Override.LabelEdit = Infragistics.Win.DefaultableBoolean.True;
            treeTerrains.Nodes.Add(rootNode);

The text editor has its button and a second tree control as the contained control for that button...
