Delphi TreeView: Can I have different styles in one node's text?

Question

I want to show a string like this as a note's text:

Name: John

It has a bold part and a regular one. Is there a way that I can do this?

Answer 1

You have to use owner-drawing. Have a look at the On*CustomDraw* events.

Answer 2

Yes, using custom drawing (OnCustomDraw, OnCustomDrawItem events). Have a look at the CustomDraw demo that comes with Delphi. It demonstrates a custom-drawn treeview.

Answer 3

You can use custom draw, yes, but this is not always handy. I can recommend looking at LMD ElPack (), namely their ElTree class. That class lets you use mini-HTML in nodes and optionally in secondary cells (ElTree is a TreeList control).
