Event Data

The SelectionChanging event's data class is SelectionChangingEventArgs. The following properties provide information specific to this event:

Property	Description
Action	Gets an action that describes how the collection of selected nodes is about to change.
Cancel	Gets or sets a value indicating whether the event should be canceled. Inherited from CancelEventArgs.
Node	Gets the processed node.

Remarks

The SelectionChanging event is raised in multiple selection mode before a user selects/unselects a node (nodes). This event allows you to cancel the action.

The following code sample does not allow users to select root nodes:

C#

treeList.SelectionChanging += (s, e) => {
    e.Cancel = e.Action == CollectionChangeAction.Add && e.Node.Level == 0;
};

VB.NET

treeList.SelectionChanging += Function(s, e)
    e.Cancel = e.Action = CollectionChangeAction.Add AndAlso e.Node.Level = 0
End Function
