Is there a way to mutiselect nodes in a Tree control?

Out of the box -- no.

You can emulate such functionality:

1. Add boolean attribute IsSelected and calculated string attribute Icon to node. Icon returns checked / unchecked image url depending on value of IsSelcted attribute.

2. Bind ImageUrl property of TreeNodeTreeItem to Icon attribute.

3. In TreeNode / TreeItem onAction handler toggle value of IsSelected attribute

Hi Valery,

The solution you suggest gives a way to identify selected nodes by changing their icons, but I'm talking about the possibility to MARK two (or more) nodes, like you can do in Tables.

Read the latest item of my previous post:

Assign onAction event handler for corresponding Tree UI controls, and toggle IsSelected attribute of underlying node element. This is not the most elegant way, but the only possible so far

I understood what you said, and still, the user will not see two selected (marked in blue) nodes, but will see two nodes which their icons may indicate they are selected, but only one node will be marked in blue. Is this correct?

Yep, you understand me absolutly correctly. Morevover, if user clicks on node (and it is always the case with existing L&F when user use mouse rather then keyboard) it ALWAYS lead to toggling selection. Quite annoying. Therefore I said that this solution is not perfect.
