Is it possible to simulate tri-state checkboxes in Microsoft TreeView Control 6.0 (MSComctlLib.TreeCtrl.2)?

问题

I'm using the Microsoft TreeView Control 6.0 in Microsoft Access. It seems to work very well, except that it doesn't seem to have a greyed out state, indicating that some, but not all child nodes are checked.

I've looked into using my own images to simulate the checkboxes, but if I do this, I then have to remove the real checkboxes or it looks like I have two checkboxes for each item... but then I don't have any checkboxes and I can't work out how to handle a click on the images.

I can find loads of people having the same sort of questions for this control in other languages/uses, but I can't find a solution for Microsoft Access.

I would happy moving over to a different control, if there's something else available that gives me a hierarchical structure with tri-state checkboxes.

回答1:

After a bit of research and a couple of hours coding, I was able to write a solution myself.

I had to add an ImageList, associate that to the TreeView and add an image of a checkbox for each of the three states. Google Image search saved me some time here :).

'Enumeration for simulated tri-state checkboxes, matching up to the TreeView's associated Image List's Index
Private Enum CheckboxEnum
  Unchecked = 1
  Checked = 2
  Partial = 3
End Enum
