C#: TreeView owner drawing with ownerdrawtext and the weird black highlighting when clicking on a node

I set the DrawMode to OwnerDrawText and tacked on to the DrawNode event, added my code to draw the text the way I want and all works well save for some odd black selection highlighting when a node is selected.

No problem, I added logic to check for if the node's state was highlighted and drew my own highlighting except the black highlighting gets added when a node is clicked, not just selected... The highlight gets drawn over by my rectangle once the mouse button is released but does get drawn and blinks...it's annoying. :/

Apparently I forgot to actually ask my question...How would one go about getting rid of the selection without completely handling the drawing?

In my experience you usually can't. Either you draw the item yourself or you don't. If you try to composite your graphics on top of those drawn by the control, you'll end up with glitches.

It is a bit of a pain because you have to handle focus rectangles, selection highlights, and drawing all the glyphs yourself.

On the plus side, Visual Styles can be used to do most of the work.

Here's some code that will get you most of the way there (it's incomplete, in that it uses some methods not included, and it doesn't render exactly what a normal treeview does because it supports grad filled items and columns, but should be a handy reference)

    protected virtual void OnDrawTreeNode(object sender, DrawTreeNodeEventArgs e)
    {
        string text = e.Node.Text;
        Rectangle itemRect = e.Bounds;
        if (e.Bounds.Height < 1 || e.Bounds.Width < 1)
            return;

        int cIndentBy   = 19;       // TODO - support Indent value
        int cMargin     = 6;        // TODO - this is a bit random, it's slaved off the Indent in some way
        int cTwoMargins = cMargin * 2;

        int indent = (e.Node.Level * cIndentBy) + cMargin;
        int iconLeft = indent;                      // Where to draw parentage lines & icon/checkbox
        int textLeft = iconLeft + 16;               // Where to draw text

        Color leftColour = e.Node.BackColor;
        Color textColour = e.Node.ForeColor;

        if (Bitfield.IsBitSet(e.State, TreeNodeStates.Grayed))
            textColour = Color.FromArgb(255,128,128,128);

        // Grad-fill the background
        Brush backBrush = new SolidBrush(leftColour);
        e.Graphics.FillRectangle(backBrush, itemRect);

        // Faint underline along the bottom of each item
        Color separatorColor = ColourUtils.Mix(leftColour, Color.FromArgb(255,0,0,0), 0.02);
        Pen separatorPen = new Pen(separatorColor);
        e.Graphics.DrawLine(separatorPen, itemRect.Left, itemRect.Bottom-1, itemRect.Right, itemRect.Bottom-1);

        // Bodged to use Button styles as Treeview styles not available on my laptop...
        if (!HideSelection)
        {
            if (Bitfield.IsBitSet(e.State, TreeNodeStates.Selected) || Bitfield.IsBitSet(e.State, TreeNodeStates.Hot))
            {
                Rectangle selRect = new Rectangle(textLeft, itemRect.Top, itemRect.Right - textLeft, itemRect.Height);
                VisualStyleRenderer renderer = new VisualStyleRenderer((ContainsFocus) ? VisualStyleElement.Button.PushButton.Hot
                                                                                       : VisualStyleElement.Button.PushButton.Normal);
                renderer.DrawBackground(e.Graphics, selRect);

                // Bodge to make VisualStyle look like Explorer selections - overdraw with alpha'd white rectangle to fade the colour a lot
                Brush bodge = new SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb((Bitfield.IsBitSet(e.State, TreeNodeStates.Hot)) ? 224 : 128,255,255,255));
                e.Graphics.FillRectangle(bodge, selRect);
            }
        }

        Pen dotPen = new Pen(Color.FromArgb(128,128,128));
        dotPen.DashStyle = DashStyle.Dot;

        int midY = (itemRect.Top + itemRect.Bottom) / 2;
