Highlighting two child controls simultaneously

Question

I have a windows form with two child controls. I need to highlight both the controls at the same time using c#. Please suggest me how to solve this problem.

Answer 1

Can you define what you mean by "highlight"? Are you referring to both controls having focus? Also, what kind of controls are the child controls?

Answer 2

Try this to highlights nodes in the TreeView control

// condition when to highlight
if (treeNode.Text.StartsWith("Important"))
{
   treeNode.BackColor = Color.Yellow;
}

Answer 3

The MS TreeView control does not support multi-select, so if that is what you have to use, you would have to use a method like what Peter suggest. The Infragistics UltraWinTree control has multi-select capabilities.
