How to hide the dotted selection rectangle around the selected node in WinForms TreeViewAdv?

Hide the dotted selection

Setting the TreeViewAdv's KeepDottedSelection property to false hides the dotted rectangle around the selected node when the TreeViewAdv loses focus.

this.treeViewAdv1.KeepDottedSelection = true;

Me.treeViewAdv1.KeepDottedSelection = True

If you do not wish to have the dotted rectangle when the node is selected and TreeViewAdv has focus, then use the following workaround:

1. Set the TreeViewAdv's OwnerDrawNodes property to true.

this.treeViewAdv1.OwnerDrawNodes = true;

Me.treeViewAdv1.OwnerDrawNodes = True

2. Handle the TreeViewAdv's BeforeNodePaint event as shown below:

private void treeViewAdv1_BeforeNodePaint(object sender, Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.TreeNodeAdvPaintEventArgs e)
{
   e.Active = false;
}

Private Sub treeViewAdv1_BeforeNodePaint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Tools.TreeNodeAdvPaintEventArgs)
   e.Active = False
End Sub
