Hello,  
I would like to know how i can change the background color of the selected node of a treeview. i have provided a value for the “selectedBackground” color property in the Items dataset of the treeview but still get the default selectedBackgorund color (the light blue one) instead of the provided color. So how can i change the background color?

Also i will like to change the node’s icon when it is open. But not event is fired when opening or closing a node (i couldn’t see any). i can specified a default icon and a selected one through the Items dataset but there is no property (column) to specified one for when the node is open. So any idea of how to achieved that?

for info i am working with ignition 8.0.5

I will be thankful for your help
