Hello,

I am able to GET the selected node with my code. I would however like to SET
any node with code. Something like
me.treeview.selectednode="First"
But this doesn't work. I can't find anything on setting this property. Can
you help?


Thanks,

Jerry

You'll have to assign a tree node object to the property instead of a
string.
 
I'm not too firm with VB yet. Could you give me an example?

The SelectedNode property is not a string, so you cannot assign a string to
it.

If you need to search a node using its key you can use Nodes.Find() or
Nodes.IndexOf() to get the node and then you can select it via SelectedNode
property.

To select the first node as the selected node:

\\\
Me.TreeView.SelectedNode = Me.TreeView.Nodes(0)
///

To select a different node you will need to locate the appropriate Node
within the Nodes collection, and then pass that to the SelectedNode
property.
 
Hi jerry,

Sub TreeView_EnsureFirstNodeIsSelectedIfExist(ByVal Treeview As
TreeView)
If Treeview.Nodes.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
Treeview.SelectedNode = Treeview.Nodes(0)
End Sub


usually one wishes that the AfterSelect event be fired even though the
node is selected already (for 2003 replace isNot with if not...is):


Sub TreeView_ForceSelectFirstNodeIfExist(ByVal Treeview As
TreeView)
If Treeview.Nodes.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub
If Treeview.SelectedNode IsNot Nothing Then
Treeview.SelectedNode = Nothing
Treeview.SelectedNode = Treeview.Nodes(0)
End Sub

example

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Me.TreeView1.HideSelection = False
Me.TreeView1.Nodes.Clear()
Me.TreeView1.Nodes.Add(New TreeNode("Hi Jerry"))

TreeView_ForceSelectFirstNodeIfExist(Me.TreeView1)

End Sub

Private Sub TreeView1_AfterSelect(ByVal sender As System.Object,
ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TreeViewEventArgs) Handles
TreeView1.AfterSelect
MsgBox("Selected " & e.Node.Text)
End Sub

End Class

I hear what your saying, but I'm afraid I can't do it.

I have one parent node, node1 and three child nodes, child1, child2, child3.
They are fixed and don't change. They all have a tag, parent, one, two and
three. Making things happen when I select them is no problem. But when the
form loads, I want child1 to be selected, not parent. So lets say I want
code to select child3 by tag or lable what is the code for doing so?

Forgive me, but I am learning by copying code and changing it to my needs.
"objects" "classes" and so on are only words to me. I know I have to learn,
but for now I'd like to keep it simple.


Thanks,

Jerry
 
Now that's something I can work with, thanks!

Me.tvwMenu.SelectedNode = Me.tvwMenu.Nodes(0).Nodes(0) did the trick.

Thank you,

Jerry
