WCF load on demand but expand first level

[BitShift]

Im looking for a suggestion on how to cause the first node to show expanded.  Im using a WCF service with load-on-demand and that works fine.  Its just that the tree is completely collapsed and id like to cause the 1st level to be shown.  

Ive thought about something like this.  Just look for the root node and cause expand it.
The question then is ...where to do this from?  On page load?

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the tree is inside an ajax panel

Found a solution.  Just add a javascript handler on the tree itself for 'OnClientLoad'
Something like this
            function pageTreeLoad(sender, eventArgs) {
                var tree = $find("<%= MyTree.ClientID %>");
                var node = tree.findNodeByText("Root Node Text Here...");
                if (node != null) {
                    node.expand();
                }

this causes the WCF load on demand to fire and load the 1st level node list
            }
