how to set selected node of treeview through code

[Trucker]

Hello, In my Application I made a treeview that displays the system directory structure - like the tree on the left in windows explorer. I also have an Open button that opens a file (OpenFileDialog). So basically my user can browse for a file through the directory tree (the treeview) or through the Open button. My problem is this - If the user chooses to use the Open button to open a file, when she/he does so, I want the treeview to reflect the location of the opened file. That is, to expand appropriately from the root and select the folder that contains the open file. So far I have tried several approaches but none led to a solution:doh:... 1) I looked in the .NET Framework, in TreeView class, for a function that takes a full path and is able to expand to and select the resulting directory. I could not find such a function. 2) I was successfull in parsing the full path I got from the open file dialog window into directories. However I found no functions in the .NET Framework that could help me track from the root to the last directory of the treeview. If anybody knows how to solve this problem or has an approach to solving it, I would appreciate hearing it greatly. TraileR ParK LifE 4Ever

If you looked in the .NET framework, does that make this a Managed C++ ( C++/CLI ) question, or a C# question ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Did you know that the "Quote Selected Text" button doesn't work when replying to your posts? I think it may be related to the > character in your signature. Would you mind removing or at least escaping it? Instead of > you can write > and it will still show the same way. Hopefully, that will fix the problem. -- jlr http://jlamas.blogspot.com/[^]

To Christian - this is a Managed C++ question, (Visual C++ .NET) To Jose - Thanks for da tip. I changed my signature but the Quote button still refuses to work. I suspect its because it doesn't like any brackets in the message contents but I decided to not take those out because it would make the message less organized (...or maybe because im just to laizy to reorganize everything;P). In any case, if its not too big of a trouble, can u please just manually refer to the part of my message you want to reply about . Thanks! TraileR ParK LifE 4Ever
