I have a treeview and I have a naming constraint on each node's name can not exceed 10 chars long. Currently, user can click on a node and change its name to over 10 characters but in the code we truncate the rest. I was wondering if there's a attribute some where on the treeview that I set the maxlength like I can do for a regular textBox? This way, users can only type in 10 charaters in the treeview node.

thanks.

No. There is nothing in the "out of the box" TreeView control that does this.

You could, however, create a user control that inherits from a TreeView control and try to build this yourself.

Hope this helps.

Implement the AfterLabelEdit event handler to verify the user's input. For example:

private void treeView1_AfterLabelEdit(object sender, NodeLabelEditEventArgs e) {
if (e.Label.Length > 10) e.CancelEdit = true;
}
