Remarks

Use the ExpandImageUrl property to specify a custom image for the expandable node indicator. This image is displayed next to an expandable node and is usually a plus sign (+).

When the ShowExpandCollapse property is set to true, the TreeView control displays a plus sign (+) or minus sign (-) or a placeholder image next to a node to indicate whether the node is expandable, collapsible, or non-expandable, respectively. You can specify custom images by first setting the ImageSet property to TreeViewImageSet.Custom, and then setting the NoExpandImageUrl, ExpandImageUrl, and CollapseImageUrl properties to the URLs for the custom images. If no images are specified, the default images are used. To hide the expansion node indicators, set the ShowExpandCollapse property to false.

Note

To ensure that nodes align correctly in the TreeView control when using custom images, make sure that all the images that are specified by the NoExpandImageUrl, ExpandImageUrl, and CollapseImageUrl properties have the same dimensions.

To display a custom image correctly, you may need to set ShowLines to false.

When using a custom image for the expandable node indicator, you should also consider setting the ExpandImageToolTip property to specify a ToolTip for the image.

The value of this property is stored in view state.
