Select first tree node

[Keith Knight]

How do I select the first first node in a kendo treeview?

Thanks!

Here is a possible solution.  Is there a better way?

selectFirstNode: function (treeId) {

                var el = $('#' + treeId);

                var tree = el.data('kendoTreeView');

                var firstNode = el.find('.k-first');

                tree.select(firstNode);

            }

Since the treeview select() method accepts jQuery selectors too, you can shave off some lines:

selectFirstNode: function(treeId) {
    $("#" + treeId).data("kendoTreeView").select(".k-first");
}

Hi all,
To continue this question, I have a 2 level tree and I'm trying to select the first element of the first tree branch.
I tried the following:

var first_item = $("#tree_list_id").find(".k-first").find('li').eq(0);
$("#tree_list_id").data("kendoTreeView").select(first_item);

Any idea?

Thanks
