Hi All,

I am writing some prototypes for our new product line, and have sampled parts of the Outlook 2003 Clone application.

The part im having trouble with is the folderView control. I created a new control in my project (workspaceView) which mimics the folder view but i load my tree nodes at runtime. The 'DrawAnnotatedText' method gets called as it should do, so that some of the nodes are bold when the count is > 0, but when i click on the bold node, the background highlighthing color does not highlight all of the node text. Its always about 10 pixels short.

The link belowshows an image with a highlighted node that should read 'Budgens Expense Invoices'.

I have no idea why this is happening, so any ideas would be much appreciated.

If your looking for controls that minic the look and feel of Office 2003 then you should check out my free library at the following link. Sorry for the self advertising but it sounds like it could help you in your project.

thanks but its really a problem with owner drawn treeviews. I have already written my own outlook style header controls / document manager / groups etc.

thanks all the same though. I have looked at your stuff before, but my company doesnt like using 3rd party controls if at all possible.
