Just add some control codes to your text items, then apply the appropriate colour scheme in your paint routine.

Look at the articles here on CodeProject; there are plenty of samples of TreeViews.

Solution 2

SharpDevelop is an open source .Net IDE. You could also buy Dissecting a C# Application: Inside SharpDevelop, which describes how to build that IDE. One of the topics is "Implement a parser to provide syntax highlighting and auto-completion as users type".
