TreeView in ComboBox select item in code

[Peter Meinl]

I am using the TreeView in ComboBox from Valeri
http://blogs.telerik.com/valerihristov/posts/09-08-27/treeview_in_combobox_take_3_silverlight_3_wpf_and_radcontrols.aspx

How can I set the selected item programmatically?

I tried
myTreeViewCombo.SelectedTreeViewItem = someItem
and
myTreeViewCombo.SelectedValue = someItem

The item seems to get selected, but the selection does not display in the ComboBox.

Hello Peter,

RadTreeView cannot automatically select items by setting its SelectedItem/Value properties. To select an item you should find it and set its IsSelected property to true.

How can I reference the TreeView inside the TreeViewComboBox from code?

[Valeri Hristov]

Hi Peter,

I guess that it would be easier if you put RadTreeView inside a RadDropDownButton:

This way you will be able to directly reference the TreeView and use it as it is on the page.

Thank you for this good suggestion.

However, with a TreeView in DropDownButton I did not know, how to find the DropDownButton the TreeView belongs too on TreeView.SelectionChanged (I create many DropDownButtons dynamically in code).

Thus I gave up on trees and use 2 ComboBoxes instead.
