Is this microsoft's bug? (treeview with check box)

Hi, I worked over the last weekend to try to figure it out about the treeview with check box. If I have the check box checked without the image, it works. However, if I have a iamge with the node, and have the check box checked in the codes, it did not owrk. I tested it in 3 machines. One with Win95, VB6(SP3) and 2 with VB6(SP4), WINNT. Can anyone try to duplicate it? Thanks.
------------------------------
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim mNode As node
Set mNode = TreeView1.Nodes.Add()
mNode.Text = "Book"
mNode.Image = "folder"
mNode.Checked = True
End Sub

I think you problem is:

The Image property is not a path, it's the index of the picture in your ImageList linked to the treeview. Try this:

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim mNode As node
Set mNode = TreeView1.Nodes.Add()
mNode.Text = "Book"
mNode.Image = 1
mNode.Checked = True
End Sub

---

Fox:

Use either a index or key of the iamge is OK. I use the key of the image in the code. However, it do not solve my problem. The Check box is still not checked.

Fox:

Again, I use the key with name "folder". This is not a path. I should use the key named "horse", which will not confuse you.

I have the same problem !!!

The code works if you try to check the node with a command button e.g. :

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Treeview1.Node(1).Checked = True
End Sub

---

but the same doesn't works in the Form_Load Sub

If you're trying to check the node in the Form_Load event use the Show method of the Form before setting the Checked property.

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Me.Show
    TreeView1.Node("Folder").Checked = True
End Sub

---

Dear Joacim,

I've tried to implement your code but dosen't works... the only way that I've find to initialize the checked box status is to add a timer and in Form_load write:

Code:

---

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub

---

and in timer1:

Code:

---

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
    Treeview1.Nodes(1).checked = True
    Timer1.Enabled = False
End Sub

---

Thats strange it works for me. Well try moving the code that checkes the node to the Form_Activate event.
