I have a TTreeView in Delphi, with nodes at three levels.
I use node data to store another label besides the node text.
Type
TNodeData = class
ExtraNodeLabel: WideString;
//... other members
end;
I have an OnAdvancedCustomDrawItem event, where i want to display this ExtraNodeLabel
before the node text.
I wish to achieve this:
What i got so far, is this:
Problems:
DrawText
/drawTextW
(I need drawtextW because of unicode data)What needs to be solved:
DrawText
/DrawtextW
Code:
procedure TMainForm.TntTreeView1AdvancedCustomDrawItem(
Sender: TCustomTreeView; Node: TTreeNode; State: TCustomDrawState;
Stage: TCustomDrawStage; var PaintImages, DefaultDraw: Boolean);
var
txtrect, fullrect : TRect;
DC: HDC;
fs: integer;
fc: TColor;
ExtralabelRect: TRect;
nData: TNodeData;
begin
nData := nil;
if assigned(Node.Data) then begin
nData := TNodeData(Node.Data);
end;
DC := TntTreeView1.canvas.Handle;
txtRect := Node.DisplayRect(True);
fullrect := Node.DisplayRect(False);
if stage = cdPostPaint then begin
TntTreeView1.Canvas.FillRect(txtRect);
if (cdsFocused In State) And (cdsSelected in State) then begin
DrawFocusRect(DC,txtRect);
end;
txtRect.Left := txtRect.Left + 1;
txtRect.Top := txtRect.Top + 1;
txtRect.Right := txtRect.Right - 1;
txtRect.Bottom := txtRect.Bottom - 1;
ExtralabelRect := txtRect;
fs := TntTreeView1.Canvas.Font.size;
fc := TntTreeView1.Canvas.Font.Color;
if (nData <> nil) And (nData.ExtraNodeLabel <> '') then begin
TntTreeView1.Canvas.Font.Size := 7;
TntTreeView1.Canvas.Font.color := clBlue;
DrawTextW(
DC,
PWideChar(nData.ExtraNodeLabel),
Length(nData.ExtraNodeLabel),
ExtraLabelRect,
DT_LEFT or DT_CALCRECT or DT_VCENTER
);
DrawTextW(
DC,
PWideChar(nData.ExtraNodeLabel),
Length(nData.ExtraNodeLabel),
ExtraLabelRect,
DT_LEFT or DT_VCENTER
);
txtRect.right := txtRect.Right + ExtraLabelRect.Right + 5;
txtRect.Left := ExtraLabelRect.Right + 5;
end;
TntTreeView1.Canvas.Font.Size := fs;
TntTreeView1.Canvas.Font.color := fc;
DrawTextW(
DC,
PWideChar((Node as TTntTreeNode).Text),
-1,
txtRect,
DT_LEFT or DT_VCENTER
);
end;
end;
Solution by the OP
I managed to partially solve custom drawing, by defining a TFont variable, and using SelectObject
and setTextColor
. Setting font color and style works, but setting the font size doesn't.
var
nFont: TFont;
begin
DC := TntTreeView1.Canvas.Handle;
NFont := TFont.Create;
// rest of the code here ...
// i tried to set nFont.Size, but it doesn't seem to work
nFont.Size := 7;
nFont.Color := colorToRGB(clBlue);
nFont.Style := TntTreeview1.Font.Style + [fsBold];
SelectObject(DC,NFont.Handle);
SetTextColor(DC,colortoRGB(clBlue));
DrawTextW(
DC,
PWideChar(nData.nodeLabel),
Length(nData.nodeLabel),
ExtraLabelRect,
DT_LEFT or DT_VCENTER
);
// rest of the code here
end;

Update 2
I solved the second problem by setting the treeview's RowSelect
property to true.
For this, to work, i had to set the ShowLines
property to false, and custom draw the lines and the buttons. It works now.
Update 3
I improved the solution for the first problem, by not creating a new font, but selecting the canvas font for displaying text, and this way i was able to change any aspect of the font, and the system cleartype settings are also applied:
// set font size for the canvas font (font style can be set the same time)
TntTreeView1.Canvas.Font.Size := 7;
// select canvas font for DC
SelectObject(DC,TntTreeView1.Canvas.Font.Handle);
// set font color
SetTextColor(DC,colortoRGB(clBlue));
