validating and adjusting a treeview label

Question

I've got a treeview control, and have caught its after-label-edit event. I want to be able to validate the user's input and adjust it - if for instance it's too long - but I only seem able to cancel the new value, not change it. Any ideas?

I don't want to have to open a new form, the user might be renaming a range of these and it shouldn't be too cumbersome.

Cheers.

Can't you get the node being edited from the EventArgs, and manually set its text? If this causes the AfterLabelEdit to be fired again, then you should add a flag to exit it if it comes from a manual edit.
