Custom Drawing

• Apr 11, 2022

All DevExpress .NET WinForms controls allow their appearance settings (foreground and background colors, font settings, etc) to be customized via the corresponding appearance options (see Appearances). Another way to change the look and feel of the Tree List is to paint its elements manually, by handling the custom draw events. See the topics below, for more information.

Note

Custom painting and alpha blending features are not applied to the print and export versions of the Tree List.
