I want to be able to set the active node to nothing in my ultratree. When I do that it automatically activates the first node in the tree. I have my tree bound to a datasource and the style set to Windows Vista. Is there anyway I can make it so that there is no active node in the tree?
BTW - The new forum layout looks great!
Unfortunately that is legacy behavior that cannot be changed as it would be too destabilizing (could be code out there that assumes ActiveNode never returns null when there are nodes). If you can briefly explain why you need it to be null we can try to help.
In my example I have a list of folders (tree nodes) where the user can select to copy files into or create a new folder. Essentially a mock file system. Selecting no node would result in copying files\creating folders at the root. However, even though no node is selected the top node is still activated and looks like it is selected (because of the Vista style).
This is really an appearance issue for me. If I can work with a draw filter that would work. I just need to be able to say, "Don't give any appearance attributes to the active node if DoNotDrawActiveNode = True."
Thanks for any help on this.
