Bold nodes in standard TTreeview component

Problem/Question/Abstract:

How make a some nodes in standard TTreeview component as bold?

Answer:

Me frequently ask as I in SMReport Explorer form realized selection by the bold font some nodes.

Today I have decided to describe this very simple way (but very useful). It does not require an override of any custom drawing methods/events, creating a new component etc. It's a real standard way.

The standard Windows Treeview control have a few state flags (TVIS_BOLD and TVIS_CUT in our example), due to which it's possible to reach wished.

At first, let's write the procedure SetNodeState:

procedure SetNodeState(node: TTreeNode; Flags: Integer);
var
  tvi: TTVItem;
begin
  FillChar(tvi, SizeOf(tvi), 0);
  tvi.hItem := node.ItemID;
  tvi.Mask := TVIF_STATE;
  tvi.StateMask := TVIS_BOLD or TVIS_CUT;
  tvi.State := Flags;
  TreeView_SetItem(node.Handle, tvi);
end;

And now we can set a wished flags:

SetNodeState(node, TVIS_BOLD) - to set the node as Bold
SetNodeState(node, TVIS_CUT) - to set the node as Cutted
SetNodeState(node, TVIS_BOLD or TVIS_CUT) - to set the node as Bold and Cutted
SetNodeState(node, 0) - to set a node as normal
