Moving to top of TreeView after ExpandAll()

Greetings:

I am trying to move to the top of my TreeView control after expanding all. This means that I should see the highlighted node (0) after the ExpandAll is done. But nothing I have tried does this.

Bellow is my code:

Private Sub btnExpandAll_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnExpandAll.Click
trvMasterFormat.Focus()
trvMasterFormat.ExpandAll()
trvMasterFormat.SelectedNode = trvMasterFormat.Nodes(0)
trvMasterFormat.Refresh()
End Sub

Any help in this regard woulkd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Try this:

Code:

---

Private Sub btnExpandAll_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnExpandAll.Click
    trvMasterFormat.ExpandAll()
    trvMasterFormat.SelectedNode = trvMasterFormat.Nodes(0)
    trvMasterFormat.Select()
End Sub

I don't quite understand what you mean exactly... The code works fine for me. Can you post a screen shot to show what you mean? And by the way, what, if any, treeview events are you handling?

While I know that setting focus is not the correct term when referring to nodes, that is exactly what I am seeking. After expanding all, the TreeView is showing the very end of the list as shown below:

But when scrolling up, the first node is selected as shown below:
Attachment 97381

What I want is to have visual focus after the expand all as shown in the second image.

Code:

---

TreeView.TopNode.EnsureVisible

---

Something like that anyway.

Grimfort: Thanks but same results :(

This seems like one of 'THOSE' issues that will drive me crazy YIKES!

No treeview events being handled

The following code must work

vb Code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        TreeView1.ExpandAll()
        TreeView1.Nodes(0).EnsureVisible()
        TreeView1.SelectedNode = TreeView1.Nodes(0)
        TreeView1.Focus()
    End Sub

If it isn't work inside your project, try it with new project.

4x2y! BINGO! Thanks and thanks to all others who contributed!

TreeView1.Nodes(0).EnsureVisible()

Is no different from

TreeView.TopNode.EnsureVisible

So I have to assume it is the Focus you are interested in seeing, that is the blue highlight, in which case check out this property, which may help in future.

TreeView1.Nodes(0).EnsureVisible()

TreeView.TopNode.EnsureVisible

They are totally different, TreeView1.Nodes(0) points to the first node while TreeView.TopNode points to the first visible node, to know the difference use

vb Code:

Debug.Print("TopNode is " & TreeView1.TopNode.Text)
        Debug.Print("Nodes(0) is " & TreeView1.Nodes(0).Text)

The TopNode property is changing each time you scroll the tree.
