TreeView: Now to maintain selection rectangle when it loses focus?

[(Pete Cresswell)]

I've got a TreeView on the left of my screen. As the user navigates the tree, I
load corresonding detail info into the rest of the screen.

Works ok, but when the user clicks on a detail field, the TreeView's selection
rectangle goes away and the user is left wondering what happened.

Seems like there ought TB a way to preserve that rectangle. The optimal would
be to have it go grey when the control loses focus and return to blue whe focus
returns...but I'll take what I can get...

Anybody?

Larry D - maybe you could flip this to that group where the guy who lives and
breathes TreeViews hangs out?

Sure. But you can easily do the same. Just look at the Newsgroups line
above ... Have you poked about in the other Access newsgroups?

Got it. .HideSelection=False. Somehow it was (defaulted?) to True.

Thanks for asking and posting. I hadn't worked in Treeview for years and suddenly
just now I needed this exact information.

Sure as heck ain't obvious!

SO!...It *does* default to .HideSelection=True.... I thought I'd
fat-fingered it somewhere along the line.

Another little tidbit: Don't expect a Tree to work if it's on a form
that's based on and empty RS. First clue will be that myTree.Nodes
won't exist....
