Hi Amirtharaj, 

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support. 

 

We can draw the border for the Nodes in MultiColumnTreeViewAdv, by handling the BeforePaint event. And the border of the SubItems can be customized by using the properties named BorderColor, BorderSides, BorderSingle and BorderStyle. Please make use of the below code example. 

 

Code Example[VB]: 

 

'To Paint border for nodes 

Private Sub multiColumnTreeView1_BeforeNodePaint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As TreeNodeAdvPaintEventArgs) 

e.Graphics.DrawLine(Pens.Red, New Point(0, e.Node.Bounds.Y), New Point(Me.multiColumnTreeView1.Width,e.Node.Bounds.Y)) 

End Sub 

'To Paint border for sub nodes. 

For i As Integer = 0 To Me.multiColumnTreeView1.Nodes.Count - 1 

 

  For j As Integer = 1 To Me.multiColumnTreeView1.Nodes(i).SubItems.Count - 1 

    Me.multiColumnTreeView1.Nodes(i).SubItems(j).BorderColor = Color.Red 

    Me.multiColumnTreeView1.Nodes(i).SubItems(j).BorderSingle =        System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBorderStyle.Solid 

    Me.multiColumnTreeView1.Nodes(i).SubItems(j).BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle 

    Me.multiColumnTreeView1.Nodes(i).SubItems(j).BorderSides = Border3DSide.Top 

  Next j 

Next i 

'Alternate row color. 

For i As Integer = 0 To Me.multiColumnTreeView1.Nodes.Count - 1 

If i Mod 2 <> 0 Then 

Me.multiColumnTreeView1.Nodes(i).Background = New Syncfusion.Drawing.BrushInfo(Syncfusion.Drawing.GradientStyle.None, System.Drawing.SystemColors.WindowText, System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb((CInt(Fix((CByte(0))))), (CInt(Fix((CByte(192))))), (CInt(Fix((CByte(0))))))) 

For j As Integer = 1 To Me.multiColumnTreeView1.Nodes(i).SubItems.Count - 1 

Me.multiColumnTreeView1.Nodes(i).SubItems(j).Background = New Syncfusion.Drawing.BrushInfo(Syncfusion.Drawing.GradientStyle.None, System.Drawing.SystemColors.WindowText, System.Drawing.Color.FromArgb((CInt(Fix((CByte(0))))), (CInt(Fix((CByte(192))))), (CInt(Fix((CByte(0))))))) 

Next j 

End If 

Next i
