highlighting a node in a TreeView

bobolhum

This question reguards the TreeView data structure found in Microsoft's Visual .NET C# environment. Does anyone know how to highlight a specific node in the treeview data structure WITHOUT clicking on that specific node? It seems possible that a programmer should be able to induce a treeNode selection without actually clicking on that node. If anyone knows how to highlight the nodes text in this fashion, please reply. thanks.. shep

myTreeView.SelectedNode = myTreeView.Nodes[0] will do the trick. You might also need to call .Focus on the TreeView if it is not focused yet. You can also fake it by changing the .BackColor and .ForeColor of individual nodes, though that forces the TreeView to redraw itself.
