Selectively removing checkboxes in a .NET 1.1 / 2.0 TreeView

Earlier this month, I had the need to customise a TreeView control such that it had checkboxes against some, not all, of the nodes.

Here’s a screenshot of what I wanted:

It requires a little bit of code to achieve this effect, but is was worth the effort. Here’s the code that performs the magic:

[code lang=”C#”]
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace Treeview___CheckBoxes
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

GSOH at The Code Project

It’s good to see that the folks over at The Code Project have a sense of humour! I came across the message below whilst browsing their site.

Oops!
Hear that crunching sound? Something just broke.

Why did this happen?
Because either we screwed up in a way that wasn’t immediately obvious until now, or because the ASP engine running this site has just rolled over and died, or because the site is simply having a bad hair day.

Options
Try and do whatever you did again. Try again.

Open the CodeProject home page, and then look for links to the information you want. Sure, the information you need is probably on this page, but you never know your luck in a big city.
Pray, curse, or sacrifice burnt offerings, then see 1.
