TreeView with CheckBoxes in C #

Question

I have a tree view with checkboxes in C #, I want that when a user checks one node, all nodes that are on the levels below are automatically checked. Does anyone know how to do this without running a recorsive fnction on the whole tree every time the user checks for some node?

thank

// this function returns treeView.

   public TreeView GetTreeView()
    {

        getSubject();
        // fill the treeview with all subjects.
        foreach (Subject subject in subjects)
        {
            //for each root subject fill all the his children.
            if (subject.subjestId == subject.parentSubject)
            {
                TreeNode node = new TreeNode(subject.subjectString, subject.subjestId, subject.subjestId);
                addChild(node, subject.subjestId);
                tv.Nodes.Add(node);
            }
        }
        return tv;
    }
   // for each subject return sub subjects.
   private void addChild(TreeNode node, int parentId)
    {
        foreach (Subject subject in subjects)
        {
            if (subject.parentSubject == parentId && subject.parentSubject != subject.subjestId)
            {
                TreeNode childNode = new TreeNode(subject.subjectString, subject.subjestId, subject.subjestId);
                addChild(childNode, subject.subjestId);
                node.Nodes.Add(childNode);
            }
        }
    }

Answer 1

recursion. Like this:

    bool busy = false;

    private void treeView1_AfterCheck(object sender, TreeViewEventArgs e) {
        if (busy) return;
        busy = true;
        try {
            checkNodes(e.Node, e.Node.Checked);
        }
        finally {
            busy = false;
        }
    }

    private void checkNodes(TreeNode node, bool check) {
        foreach (TreeNode child in node.Nodes) {
            child.Checked = check;
            checkNodes(child, check);
        }

Answer 2

private void treeView1_AfterCheck(object sender, TreeViewEventArgs e) {
  foreach (TreeNode child in e.Node.Nodes) {
    child.Checked = e.Node.Checked;
  }
}

Answer 3

private void trvMenuList_AfterCheck(object sender, TreeViewEventArgs e)
        {
            SetChildrenChecked(e.Node, e.Node.Checked);

        }

  private void SetChildrenChecked(TreeNode treeNode, bool checkedState)
        {
            foreach (TreeNode item in treeNode.Nodes)
            {
                if (item.Checked != checkedState)
                {
                    item.Checked = checkedState;
                }
                SetChildrenChecked(item, item.Checked);
            }
        }

, "set checked to children", AfterCheck .

The structure, unfortunately, gives you an AfterCheck callback, even if you set the validation value in the code, and although this may not be noticeable on small trees, it adds a huge amount of exponential extra work to your application. To avoid this, filter AfterCheck only to launch your new function if it was called by the user.

    private void tree_AfterCheck(object sender, TreeViewEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Action != TreeViewAction.Unknown)
        {
            SetChildrenChecked(e.Node);
        }
    }

    private void SetChildrenChecked(TreeNode treeNode)
    {
        foreach (TreeNode item in treeNode.Nodes)
        {
            if (item.Checked != treeNode.Checked)
            {
                item.Checked = treeNode.Checked;
            }

            if (item.Nodes.Count > 0)
            {
                SetChildrenChecked(item);
            }                
        }
    }

If you want to do this in WinForms, then I think you need to do it manually by recursion - I don't know a better way.
