Programmatically start rename of tree item

[St3ve]

Hi all,

I want to replicate the behavior seen in many tree controls/list boxes. For example in the LabVIEW project you can right-click on an object and select "rename" or press F2 and the text of the item will be highlighted ready for the user to type a new entry.

I can populate the shortcut menu etc. but I can not find how to programmatically initiate the edit operation, any ideas? Simulating a mouse down event with a DLL call seems a bit hacky.

Thanks,

Steve.

Hi St3ve,

You should be able to achieve this with the tree EditPos Property - as mentioned in the help be sure to set keyfocus first.

Tom,

Thanks for that, I had tried that but missed the bit about key focus! RTFM!

Many thanks,

Steve.

No problem- that one's definitely easy to miss.
