[RESOLVED] Treeview - Add new node and select text for editing

I want to add nodes that behave in a similar fashion as when you add new folders in windows explorer. i.e. right click > new folder > then the new folder is added and highlighted as New Folder so that as soon as the user types they are overwriting the folder name.

I can add a new node as a child node of the node I have selected and label it "New Node" but I can't figure out how to select the new node and have it highlighted so that when the user types, they are overwriting the "New Node" text.

I have tried this but it doesn't work.

Code:

---

Private Sub AddProjectToolStripMenuItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AddProjectToolStripMenuItem.Click
        Me.trvProjects.SelectedNode.Nodes.Add("New Node")
        Me.trvProjects.SelectedNode = trvProjects.Nodes("New Node")
        Me.trvProjects.Focus()
    End Sub

---

You can call the BeginEdit method of the node. See here:

This works:
nmad beat me to it though.

Code:

  Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim tvw As TreeView
        Dim nd As TreeNode

        tvw = Me.TreeView1
        tvw.LabelEdit = True
        nd = tvw.Nodes.Add("New Item")

        tvw.SelectedNode = nd

      'THIS is the key line:       
        nd.BeginEdit()
       
    End Sub

Thanks guys, that worked. I have a lot more work to do as I am only just getting started with VB, so it really is very much appreciated. :thumb:
