how to programmatically select items in a tree

[AK01]

Hi,

I am looking to persist the tree selection in my application (save to a file on close, load from the file on open), but I cannot figure out how to programmatically select an item in a tree on load.  I would like to select the item as well as have it highlighted as is the usual behaviour if selecting via mouse.

I have tried writing to the "ActiveItemTag" property, but this does not work.  Any ideas?

AK01,

Try the "Value" property.  The value of a tree control is the tag that is currently selected, so setting the Value to the appropriate tree tag will highlight that item.

Hai,

"Value" Property hightlights the tree item given as input.  It is a string data type and hence wire the element tag to highlight that element.  If the "selection mode" is set to "1 or more items" then wire a 1d string array to high light multiple items.

Hope it helps.
