treeview

Whenever I click outside the tree nodes text, on the control part, it tigers a node click event- but doesn't highlight the node. I am unsure why this is happening.

I want the node to be selected on a click- when you click the nodes text- not the whitespace- I only assume that the nodes width reaches across the whole Treenode? I have the Treeview on dock.fill mode if that has something to do with it- I tried everything but can't get it to behave correctly.

Maybe someone will know what's going on.

Update: if (e.Location.IsEmpty) {

Seems to work better- but still selects the node in the blank place where there is no text- Obviously the node width extends across the whole treeview it seems?

Is there a better way to accomplish what I want? Or is that the best way?

UPDATE: Previous idea isn't working- sigh- I thought it did it but it didn't.

New Problem : I think part of the problem is related to the focus now when I switch from treeview.

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy.
