Hi,

I have a tree control and I want to set focus on the top most item.Im using the following function but its not setting.

C++

HTREEITEM htiRoot = m_treeAvailableGraphs.GetRootItem(); 
m_treeAvailableGraphs.SetItemState(htiRoot, LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED, LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED);

Please suggest me how can I do this.
Thanks in advance.

What I have tried:

C++

HTREEITEM htiRoot = m_treeAvailableGraphs.GetRootItem(); 
m_treeAvailableGraphs.SetItemState(htiRoot, LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED, LVIS_SELECTED | LVIS_FOCUSED);

Most likely because you are using ListView states rather than TreeView ones. See Tree-View Control Item States (Windows)[^] for the correct values.

Thank you Richard.I have changed it but that is also not working. Is there any other way to set focus by default?
