TreeCtrl - A WTL Tree Control with Windows Vista Style Item Selection

• Download demo project - 13 KB

Introduction

After quite a few requests, I thought I'd post this tree control that uses a similar selection drawing style to the list control I posted here: ListCtrl - A WTL list control with Windows Vista style item selection. For an added bonus, I've also included support for multiple-selection.

How to Use CTreeCtrl

Simply use the tree control as you would the normal CTreeViewCtrl, however there are a couple of functions required to activate and retrieve multiple selections:

void ShowThemed( 
    BOOL bShowThemed = TRUE
)

Description

Draw item selection themed.

Parameters

• bShowThemed - TRUE = Draw themed selection; FALSE = Classic mode

void SetMultipleSelect( 
       BOOL bMultipleSelect
)

Description

Turns on/off multiple selection.

Parameters

• bMultipleSelect - TRUE = Turn on multiple select

void GetSelectedItems( 
    CSimpleArray < HTREEITEM >& aSelectedItems
)

Description

Retrieves a list of selected tree items.

Parameters

• aSelectedItems - Reference to an array of HTREEITEM

Finally

Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
