[2005] Treeview Icons.

I will need some help here.
I have a treeview that loads ok, but i am having a problem on the change of image when i click the last childnode.
just like my first image shows, i have three images. index0 has the ClosedBox,Index1 has the OpenedBox,Index2 has the dot.
When i click on the parent node, it changes from closed to opened and the child should have the dot. This is Ok.
But when i click on the childnode, my dot changes to the closedBox instead of remaining a dot. Of course there is something wrong witth the code, but i cant see it. Below is the code i have and attached are the images of the treeview. Any help will be highly appreciated.

VB Code:

Private Sub bindMyTreeView()
        Dim strSectorsSQL As String = "SELECT * FROM tblContinent"
        Dim strSubSectorSQL As String = "Select * FROM tblRegions"
        Dim dsContinents As New DataSet
        Dim dsRegions As New DataSet
        dsContinents = cls_connMger.ReturnOleDbDataset(strAccessConn, strSectorsSQL, "tblContinent")
        dsRegions = cls_connMger.ReturnOleDbDataset(strAccessConn, strSubSectorSQL, "tblRegions")
        Try
            Dim HeaderNode As TreeNode
            Dim parentNode As TreeNode
            Dim childNode As TreeNode
            Dim searchIDNode As TreeNode
            Dim dbRow As DataRow
 
            HeaderNode = tvwPopPlaces.Nodes.Add("CONTINENTS")
            HeaderNode.Tag = "H"
            For Each dbRow In dsContinents.Tables("tblContinent").Rows
                'For Each searchIDNode In tvwSectors.Nodes
                'If CStr(searchIDNode.Tag) = "H" Then
                parentNode = tvwPopPlaces.Nodes.Add(dbRow("ct_Name"))
                parentNode.Tag = dbRow("ct_ID") '& "C"
                parentNode.ImageIndex = 0
                'End If
                ' Next
            Next
 
            For Each dbRow In dsRegions.Tables("tblRegions").Rows
                For Each searchIDNode In tvwPopPlaces.Nodes
                    'If CStr(searchIDNode.Tag).EndsWith("C") Then
                    'If Not IsDBNull(parentRow("ct_ID")) Then
                    If Val(searchIDNode.Tag) = dbRow("ct_ID") Then
                        childNode = searchIDNode.Nodes.Add(dbRow("rg_Name"))
                        childNode.Tag = dbRow("rg_ID") ' & "U"
                        childNode.ImageIndex = 2
                    End If
                    'End If
                    'End If
                Next
            Next
 
            ' HeaderNode = tvwPopPlaces.Nodes.Add("POPULATION")
            'HeaderNode.Tag = "P"
        Catch ex As System.Exception
            MsgBox("Error!" & ex.Message)
        End Try
    End Sub
 
 
    Private Sub tvwPopPlaces_BeforeCollapse(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TreeViewCancelEventArgs) Handles tvwPopPlaces.BeforeCollapse
        'When a node is collapsed we want to close the folder icon for the node.
        e.Node.ImageIndex = 0
        e.Node.SelectedImageIndex = 0
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub tvwPopPlaces_BeforeExpand(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TreeViewCancelEventArgs) Handles tvwPopPlaces.BeforeExpand
        If e.Node.ImageIndex = 2 Then Exit Sub
 
        Try
            If e.Node.GetNodeCount(False) = 1 And e.Node.Nodes(0).Text = "" Then
                e.Node.Nodes(0).Remove()
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox("Unable to expand " & e.Node.FullPath & ":" & ex.ToString)
        End Try
 
        If e.Node.GetNodeCount(False) > 0 Then
            e.Node.ImageIndex = 1
            e.Node.SelectedImageIndex = 1
        End If
    End Sub

Ok got it.
I included
childNode.SelectedImageIndex = 2 in the bindMyTreeView() sub. but i still have a lack of confidence demon here. If there is any more logical way of doing it. Please feel free to post it.
