[CLOSED] Why ThreeStateBool instead Nullable<bool>?

    [CLOSED] Why ThreeStateBool instead Nullable<bool>?

    In TreeNodeBase there are two properties:
    public virtual ThreeStateBool Checked
    and
    public virtual ThreeStateBool Expandable

    with very strange Enum ThreeStateBool,

    may be better to use is Nullable<bool> (bool?)?

    there are same three states - true/false/null

    Hello!

    Maybe you are right... But this way has been chosen. Perhaps because of the "undefined" value is closer to JavaScript's undefined.
    At least there is one advantage. It would be easier to make refactoring if one more bool state appears:)
