A WTL tree control that supports Windows Vista style selection and multiple selection

Image 1

Introduction

After quite a few requests, I thought I'd post this tree control that uses a similar selection drawing style to the list control I posted here: ListCtrl - A WTL list control with Windows Vista style item selection. For an added bonus, I've also included support for multiple-selection.

How to Use CTreeCtrl

Simply use the tree control as you would the normal CTreeViewCtrl, however there are a couple of functions required to activate and retrieve multiple selections:

C++
void ShowThemed( 
    BOOL bShowThemed = TRUE
)

Description

Draw item selection themed.

Parameters

  • bShowThemed - TRUE = Draw themed selection; FALSE = Classic mode
C++
void SetMultipleSelect( 
       BOOL bMultipleSelect
)

Description

Turns on/off multiple selection.

Parameters

  • bMultipleSelect - TRUE = Turn on multiple select
C++
void GetSelectedItems( 
    CSimpleArray < HTREEITEM >& aSelectedItems
)

Description

Retrieves a list of selected tree items.

Parameters

  • aSelectedItems - Reference to an array of HTREEITEM

Finally

Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

GeneralFixes for keeping selection when clicking expand and collapse and setting background color Pin

Looks good and I like the approach -

Couple of fixes here -
Override SetBkColor to allow non-white background. Maybe a better way to handle background color (and text color) is by getting and setting the treeviews colors through TVM_GETBKCOLOR etc.

Fixed clicking on expand buttons so it doesn't affect the current selection.

Also just FYI - I got this working on 7.1 by copying out the relavent classes from ATL 7.5 (CDoubleBuffer, CMemoryDC and CLogFont)

<br />
  COLORREF SetBkColor(COLORREF bk)<br />
  {<br />
    m_rgbBackground = bk;<br />
    return CWindowImpl< CTreeCtrl, CTreeViewCtrl >::SetBkColor(bk);<br />
  }<br />
<br />
  void OnLButtonDown( UINT nFlags, CPoint point )<br />
  {<br />
    if ( m_bMultipleSelect )<br />
    {<br />
      // reset selected item if click on a single item<br />
      UINT flags = 0;<br />
      HTREEITEM hNewItem = HitTest( point, &flags );<br />
      if (flags & TVHT_ONITEMBUTTON)<br />
      {<br />
        SetMsgHandled( FALSE );<br />
        return;<br />
      }<br />
<br />
      m_bCtrlKey = ( ( GetKeyState( VK_CONTROL ) & 0x8000 ) != 0 );<br />
      m_bShiftKey = ( ( GetKeyState( VK_SHIFT ) & 0x8000 ) != 0 );<br />
      <br />
      if ( m_bCtrlKey || m_bShiftKey )<br />
        return;<br />
      <br />
      if ( hNewItem != NULL )<br />
      {<br />
        UINT nNewSelectState = ( GetItemState( hNewItem, TVIS_SELECTED ) & TVIS_SELECTED );<br />
        ResetSelected( GetRootItem() );<br />
        SetItemState( hNewItem, nNewSelectState, TVIS_SELECTED );<br />
        m_hFirstSelected = hNewItem;<br />
      }<br />
    }<br />
    <br />
    SetMsgHandled( FALSE );<br />
  }<br />
<br />
  void OnLButtonUp( UINT nFlags, CPoint point )<br />
  {<br />
    SetMsgHandled( FALSE );<br />
    <br />
    if ( !m_bMultipleSelect )<br />
      return;<br />
<br />
    UINT flags = 0;<br />
    HTREEITEM hNewItem = HitTest( point, &flags );<br />
    if (flags & TVHT_ONITEMBUTTON)<br />
      return;<br />
<br />
    HTREEITEM hOldItem = GetSelectedItem();<br />
    <br />
    if ( m_bCtrlKey )<br />
    {<br />
      if ( hNewItem != NULL )<br />
      {<br />
        UINT nNewSelectState = GetItemState( hNewItem, TVIS_SELECTED ) & TVIS_SELECTED ? 0 : TVIS_SELECTED;<br />
        UINT nOldSelectState = hOldItem == NULL ? 0 : GetItemState( hOldItem, TVIS_SELECTED );<br />
        <br />
        // select new item (to get focus)<br />
        SelectItem( hNewItem );<br />
        <br />
        // set highlight state for new item<br />
        if ( GetItemState( hNewItem, TVIS_SELECTED ) != nNewSelectState )<br />
          SetItemState( hNewItem, nNewSelectState, TVIS_SELECTED );<br />
        <br />
        // restore state of old selected item<br />
        if ( hOldItem != NULL && hOldItem != hNewItem && GetItemState( hOldItem, TVIS_SELECTED ) != nOldSelectState )<br />
          SetItemState( hOldItem, nOldSelectState, TVIS_SELECTED );<br />
        <br />
        m_hFirstSelected = NULL;<br />
      }<br />
    }<br />
    else if ( m_bShiftKey )<br />
    {<br />
      // initialise the reference item if this is the first shift selection<br />
      if ( m_hFirstSelected == NULL )<br />
        m_hFirstSelected = GetSelectedItem();<br />
        <br />
      // select new item (to get focus)<br />
      if ( hOldItem == hNewItem )<br />
        SelectItem( NULL ); // to prevent edit<br />
<br />
      if ( m_hFirstSelected != NULL )<br />
        SelectItems( m_hFirstSelected, hNewItem );<br />
    }<br />
    <br />
    m_bCtrlKey = FALSE;<br />
    m_bShiftKey = FALSE;<br />
  }<br />
