How do I change the color of an individual Node in a treeview?

David, I guess it all depends on what version of MS Common Controls you
have.

If you have VB6 (MS Common Controls Version 6.0) you can try:

Dim i As Integer
Dim nod_x As Node

For i = 1 To 25
Set nod_x = TreeView1.Nodes.Add(, , , "This is a sample node: " & i)
nod_x.ForeColor = QBColor(Int((15 * Rnd) + 1))   ' Generate random value
between 1 and 15.
Next

If you have MS Common Controls 5.0 (SP2):

Hi David,
        If you want to change the color of the bitmap associated with the
node, use a different image in the imagelist and load it at runtime when
creating the nodes of the tree.
        Or if you want to change the background color of the text in the
node, then we can use the SendMessage, GetWindowLong and SetWindowLong
window APIs. Set the TVM_SETBKCOLOR in the SendMessage call to red.
Hope this helps you.

Rgds,
Babu.
