How to get a visible root node in Virtual TreeView?












1














I am using Virtual TreeView and I need to select the root node when I click on the button. There is a RootNode property in TBaseVirtualTree, but based on the documentation, it is not used for enumeration. Also that root node is invisible and not the actual root of the whole tree.

  • What's a name of the component? Is it third party or Delphi-standard? Which Delphi version?

  • Is it really different from other nodes? From Win32 point of view you first locate a node identifier and then select it, must be something similar in your case. There is potential for multiple roots too.

  • @bunglehead The component is mentioned multiple times in title, body and tags. However I'm not sure which of the repos currently is the "official" one.

Use code like the following to select the first node. Note that there is a separate function to get the first visible node (GetFirstVisible())



procedure TForm1.Button4Click(Sender: TObject);
var
node: PVirtualNode;
begin
node := VST.GetFirst();
VST.Selected[node] := True;
end;
