Flexible TreeView v2.8

Main changes in this release

Moveable plus-minus sign

The main new feature of this release is that now you get the possibility to move the plus-minus sign into other columns and to display node controls on the left side of the plus-minus sign – these give you even more flexibility when displaying hierarchical data.

From the developer's point of view nothing has changed – all node controls on the left side of the plus-minus sign work as before, i.e. support editing, alignment, animation, etc.
From the user's point of view, now the information is perceived even more easily since you can quickly and non-intrusively display any data on the left side of a node to attract user's attention; at the same time the interface is still user-friendly.

Please check this topic for details.

DragDropOptions.DropAction

In the previous versions there was the DragDropOptions.AutoMoveNodes property which let automatically move nodes in a tree on drag & drop. The new version extends the aforementioned possibilities and replaces DragDropOptions.AutoMoveNodes property by the DragDropOptions.DropAction property where you can choose various automatic actions on drag & drop. Now it is sufficient to modify only one property to let the tree perform complex operations.

Available actions:

• Notify - do not do any automatic actions, instead notify about termination of drag & drop operation by the DragDrop event;
• AutoMove - automatically move dragged nodes into the specified node in this or any other tree;
• AutoCopy - copy nodes if, while dragging the nodes, the Control button was pressed. Use Clone node method to copy the nodes;
• AutoMoveOrCopy - use the AutoMove mode if the Control button wasn't pressed when you dragged the nodes, or use the AutoCopy mode in case the Control button was pressed.

Please check this topic for additional details.

NodeImage.HoverDataFieldName

Before NodeImage node control allowed to display only a static image. This release expands the possibilities for an interaction with a user and allows to display another image when the mouse cursor hovers over the node control.

You just need to set a node class member in the HoverDataFieldName property where such an image is stored.
