Highlight node based on raddock document selection

[Ian]

Hi Telerik

I'm trying to create a standout highlight in a treeview to indicate which document in a raddock has been selected. I have created a Custom document with a DocumentNode property which points to the node in the tree which relates to the document. I'm using the Active document changed event and a TreeViewElement.Update to attempt this. THe code works for the addition of a single document but gets stuck on the next added document and won't reformat the appropriate node when I change from one document to the other by clicking on the document window tab.

The key code snippets are below:
In Active Document changed

tvMPWorkspace.TreeViewElement.Update(RadTreeViewElement.UpdateActions.StateChanged);

In Node Formatting event

if (rDockModelPackage.DocumentManager.ActiveDocument != null && ((RadCustomDocumentWindow)rDockModelPackage.DocumentManager.ActiveDocument).DocumentNode == e.Node)
{
    e.NodeElement.BackColor = Color.PaleGoldenrod;
}
else
{
    e.NodeElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.BackColorProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
}

As usual, all help gratefully received
Regards
Ian

Hello Ian,

Thank you for your question.

You can achieve the desired behavior by setting and resetting the DrawFill property in the NodeFormatting event. Please find a sample project which demonstrates how the 'active' node is changes when you change the active DocumentWindow. 

I hope this helps. If you have any additional questions on the case, feel free to write back.
