I would like to raise the need for easier access to the nodes of the treeview component, even the ones that have not yet been generated by the ItemContainerGenerator. At the moment it is cumbersome, to say the least, to do things like expanding the tree to a specific node programmatically or selecting a specific node. There is some discussion in this thread: http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/thread/b311D-bkegmg.aspx
I'm not sure exactly how you should address the problem, but I know that at the moment it is far too complicated to perform these rather simple tasks. Is it possible to add an option for turning off virtualization altogether?

Hi Henrik,
I absolutely agree with you that an easier way is needed.
Let's move the discussion here, and to make sure that we are all on the same track, so we can have this implemented in the best way for the official release.
So the scenario that need to be adressed is:
You have a reference to the data Item and you want to get a reference to the ItemContainer (e.g. the RadTreeViewItem instance), so you can do some specific actions over the container - e.g. Select, Check, Expand, etc..
To do this you can use the ContainerFromItemRecursive method, but it will not work for items that are not yet generated. We need a way to remove this limitation.
Is this the correct scenario of the problem?

Yes, that is exactly it.
