Focus at opening

[Bra]

Hi there, it's me again :)

 

Is it possible to focus an item of the tree ? I'm using the tree to select a value, that is saved. When I create the tree, I want to focus this value, previously defined. But I can't find any way to expand the tree to this item, and focus on it. I already have a customization to highlight this item, but it's not in the screen when the initialization is done, so I can't see that I already have a selected value (unless I scroll the whole tree to check it myself) :(

The ItemSource of the TreeView is a ObservableCollection<CustomObject> and I know exactly wich CustomObject I would like to focus.

Thank you :)

Hi Bra,

The TreeView uses UI virtualization, meaning that it only renders the items it needs to that are visible to user on he screen. If the item is somewhere else in the tree, you need to programmatically expand that node and use the Programmatic Scrolling feature.

Those two articles will show you the code to use. What I'm not completely sure about is which order you need to take, so I recommend trying both ways: Expand first, then scroll.. or scroll first, then expand.

Let me know how it goes. If you have any trouble, please share the code you're using so we can attempt to replicate the issue.
