TreeView Node forecolor not changing when called at certain times?

Question

I have a treeview, trvActors.

When I try to change the forecolor of a treenode by clicking on it, it does not seem to work, but the surrounding code works.

            ((Actor)_rightClickedNode.Tag).IsDefault = true;
            _rightClickedNode.ForeColor = Color.Red;

Weirdly enough, the isDefault value changes, but the node does not change color. This is occurring on a toolstripmenuitem click, but the same thing is also occurring on a simple right click.

Here is the code for a right click on the private void trvActors_MouseClick event:

  trvActors.SelectedNode = trvActors.GetNodeAt(e.X, e.Y);

        if (trvActors.SelectedNode != null)
        {
            if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
            {
                _rightClickedNode = trvActors.SelectedNode;

                ((Actor)_rightClickedNode.Tag).IsDefault = true;
                _rightClickedNode.ForeColor = Color.Red;

            }
        }

Same outcome. The only time I seem to be able to change the forecolor is when I am initially creating the nodes. Any ideas?

what do you have FullRowSelect set to.. if it is true make it false also maybe you should put your code in the NodeMouseClick or BeforeSelect events ?

Hope this helps you out,
