[RESOLVED] Treeview selecting the added node

[Since VB_DOS]

I am bootstrapping myself up on using the Treeview control in VB. I have a quick question, after adding a child node using the following :

TreeView_Dir_List.SelectedNode.Nodes.Add(OpenFileDialog.SafeFileNames(0)) ' Add the new item

How can I then make it (the newly added node) the selected node? I know I can use the selectednode property to 'set' it, but how do I reference it?

// Sorry, I posted a VB6 solution, didn't see the topic is in VB.Net //

2 methods:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
  With TreeView1
    .Nodes.Clear
    .HideSelection = False
  End With
End Sub

Private Sub Command1_Click()
  ' Method 1
  Set TreeView1.SelectedItem = TreeView1.Nodes.Add(, , , "Another node")
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
  ' Method 2
  TreeView1.Nodes.Add(, , , "Another node").Selected = True
End Sub

I do not see a selected property, there is a IsSelected but it is read only?

TreeView_Dir_List.SelectedNode.Nodes.Add(OpenFileDialog.SafeFileNames(0)).IsSelected

I guess I am just in essence trying to find a way to reference the added node in order to set various properties. I could loop through the collection and test the name but I really thought there would be a more eloquent solution.

Shouldn't it be something like this:

TreeView_Dir_List.SelectedNode = TreeView_Dir_List.SelectedNode.Nodes.Add(OpenFileDialog.SafeFileNames(0))

Yep, that worked...never really thought about it that 'way around'.... I had just assumed I could get a reference of some sort to the most recently added item..... Thanks a bunch!

The .Add method returns the freshly added node, so you do get the reference.

Yep, that was exactly what I was looking for....thank you!
