Setting an Initial treeView selection

I have a tree view control and I'm trying to set an initally selected node when the appilication starts, I fill the treeView then do the following

Code:

---

treeView1.SelectedNode = this.treeView1.Nodes[0];

---

it appears to set that nodes .isSelected value to true but the item is not highlighted in the treeview. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Make sure that this 'HideSelection' property is set to false . This should solve it .
