Setting the currrent selected treeview node

[motr]

I have a tree view that loads the details of an item into another panel. If those items are edited, and the user selects another tree view item, they are asked if they want to save changes. If they click Cancel, then the original node needs to be reselected. However, the problem is that it appears all of the node selected properties are read-only. Is there a way to set the selected node?

I've tried stuff like...

tvwSwatches.SelectedNode = tvwSwatches.Nodes(CurrentSwatchNode)

But that throws System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException

Any ideas?

What is CurrentSwatchNode set to in your test? Remember that you have to follow the hierarchy structure of the nodes. Maybe this will help: http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...hreadid=236652

why dont you just do
tvwSwatches.SelectedNode = CurrentSwatchNode
?

CurrentSwatchNode is an integer that is assigned the node index when the user first selects it. The node tree isn't changing, so I'm assuming this method would work (either this or getting the node with its path)

[MrPolite]

well you could just save the node as a TreeNode, and I think it would work

Yeah saving a reference to the node itself would be much easier. Then you can use the code MrPolite posted.
