Full-Row-Select Tree Item programmatically

[andy320]

Is it possible to select an Item of a tree-control programmatically so the whole row turns blue?? When using the SetActiveTreeItem-Function only a blue frame is drawn around the label of the active item. When clicking with the mouse on an item it works!

It's actually already doing what you want, you just can't see it because the tree is not the active control. Add a function call SetActiveCtrl to make the tree control the active control and you will see the solid highlight instead of the outline.

Great, this works.  But why did the tree control cease to become the active control with SetActiveTreeItem()?

Steve,

SetActiveTreeItem should not make the control active. It should only make that item be the active item in the tree.

If you also want to make the tree be the active control in the panel then you need to call SetActiveCtrl, but those are two different things.
