Question

Using the TreeView control in WinForms, is there a property that can be set to hide the collapse-node icons for each node?

Also, how do I permanently expand all nodes in the TreeView?

Answer 1

You would need to handle the OnBeforeExpand event and set Cancel to true.

private void OnBeforeExpand(TreeViewCancelEventArgs e)
{
   e.Cancel = true;
}

Keep in mind that this would prevent any tree node from expanding.

If you want to hide the “+/-” symbols, you should set the ShowPlusMinus property to false.
