unable to highlight the treeview item dynamically through code

[Kiran Mandapati]

Hi Telerik,

we are unable select an item through code. we used the item.IsSelected=true. though it highlited in different color from the one which is shown when we clicked manually. Please could you help us resolving this.

Hi Kiran Mandapati,

Selecting through code leads to "SelectionUnfocused" visual state and you see the RadTreeViewItem with gray background. When you select with mouse , you also focus the RadTreeViewItem and it goes to "SelectionFocused" visual state (orange-like background). You either have to focus the item in the code or change the default style of the RadTreeViewItem and play with the mentioned colors (they are Backgrounds in the "SelectionFocused" and "SelectionUnfocused" Borders).
