Let me suggest reviewing the skinning document for what properties can be changed to obtain a differnet view (NodeXXXXXImage properties)

The doc can be downloaded here.

Ok, I found a way to do it:

I replaced your dnn.controls.dnntree.js, in line 485-486, where it reads:

            if (oTNode.hasNodes || oTNode.hasPendingNodes)    //if node has children then render expand/collapse icon
                oNewContainer.appendChild(this.renderExpCol(oTNode));

for the following code:

            if (oTNode.hasNodes || oTNode.hasPendingNodes)    //if node has children then render expand/collapse icon
            {
                oNewContainer.appendChild(this.renderExpCol(oTNode));
                //Lines bellow forces the DIV container to use events for expansion, Over and Out
                oNewContainer.onclick = dnn.dom.getObjMethRef(this, 'nodeExpColClick');
                oNewContainer.onmouseover = dnn.dom.getObjMethRef(this, 'nodeTextMOver');
                oNewContainer.onmouseout = dnn.dom.getObjMethRef(this, 'nodeTextMOut');
            }

and now its works like I wanted to, next step.... treeview  localization. any ideias on how? i'm currently using effority's code for tabs localization, but cant place it on treeview, should I open another thread on this sbuject?

Thanks,

Paulo
