Re: How to draw a custom border across multiple cells in TreeView?

Stefan,

Thanks for the information.  Looks like the second option is simpler. 
By chance, is there any sample code that illustrates this?  I have a
hard time imagining how DrawingArea, for example, could be forced to
draw its content inside TreeView.

Thanks much,

Nickolai
