Highlighting a Tree control item

[zxcatzeyez]

Hi everyone,

I am working with a custumized version of a LV8 tree control and am tring to highlight a tree item when the user right clicks an item. The default action of the LV8 tree control is to display the shortcut menu for the CONTROL not the ITEM CLICKED. Using the 'Point to Row Column' method, I am able to detect which item is right-clicked but if the item clicked is NOT the item that is highlighted, the click item is not highlighted when the shortcut-menu is displayed.

Does anyone know if:

a) this is a bug?

b) there is a programatic property/method to highlight a tree item?

c) any other way to highlight a tree item when it is right-clicked.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

To highlight a tree item, just write the item's Tag value to the Tree. You can use the dreaded Value property, wire it directly to the tree (if it's an indicator), or use a local variable.

Note that it is a Filter event and the right-click is discarded. That will prevent the run-time pop-up menu from ruining your day.

Rock on,

Dan Press
