tree edit position without top left cell change

[miguelc]

I'd like to use a tree control to allow users to input comments on the parents and siblings in the first column. However, when I use the edit position property node, it moves the left most visible column to the edit position column. Anyway around this? I know I can just let the user do the default double click with the pause in between, but its kind of annoying.

VI shows a tree, with the behavior I don't want, and a multicolumn listbox, with the behavior I do want. I don't use the listbox because I want the tree parent/sibling structure

Hi miguelc,

I must admit, this issue baffled me for quite some time.  Thus, it's only fitting that the solution was staring us right in the face   Simply contract the length of the second column so that it does not extend past the edge of the Tree control!  You'll notice that the Multicolumn Listbox is susceptible to the same behavior if the second column is expanded to the edge.  I've attached your VI with these changes to demonstrate.

Thanks so much, glad to know it was a minor fixable detail, not permanent behavior. Amazing what another set of eyes will do.
