I am trying to change the background color of the tree view during runtime. I tried to set the background color by changing this property, treeview.StandardStyle.Background. However, this only change the tree node and not the space below the tree node. Is this a bug or I need to call some other API to change the background color?

Hi Patrick,
Set the TreeViewAdv''s BackColor property for this purpose. Let me know if this works for you. Thanks for considering Syncfusion products.

Hi Guru Patwal,
I had tried this before and it doesn''t work for me. I found out what is wrong. I had set ThemesEnabled = true, and tree doesn''t allow me to set the background color. Is this a bug?
thanks,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
This is the intended behavior while using themes and not a bug. When themes are enabled, the drawing responsibility for the control is delegated to the underlying OS (so it ignores all the drawing related settings in the code). If the OS supports themes (like in Windows XP), the control is drawn using themes. Let me know if you need any other information.

Is there any way I can override and paint the background color? The only way that I can set the background color is setting treeview.StandardStyle.Background property and half of the tree''s background is white.

Hi Patrick,
After further investigating this issue, I found out that the TreeViewAdv''s BackColor can be set even when the ThemesEnabled is true. You would have to set the TreeViewAdv''s IgnoreThemeBackground to true for this purpose. Please try this and let me know how it goes. Thanks for your patience and cooperation.
