Tree Control: NodeClick event

[mpgalvin]

When the user clicks on a tree node, the NodeClick event is launched, where I'm setting a public variable CurrNode to the .index of that node. I'm using this public variable in other places in the code.

Unfortunately, it only works if I explicitly click on a node, and this won't be the case when the form initially loads. What I want to do is simulate the effect of clicking on the first node of the tree, but, naturally, .nodeclick(1) doesn't work.

Is there anyway of "automatically" clicking on the first node at some point?

When you populate the tree control, you know what the first node is. Isn't it possible to set your public value there ?

Or maybe after populating the tree control you can access the nodes and marking your public variable.

Programmatically calling a click event is IMHO not a good way of programming...

Weedz, I totally agree with you, but at the time I couldn't think of a good way around my problem short of calling the event. On your suggestion, I initialised the public variable after populating the tree, and it appears to work fine.

Thanks
