    [CLOSED] TreePanel selection behaviour

    Test the sample below in 2.5 and 4.1

    Load the page.

    The 2.5 behaviour: The root node ("0") is selected (even if not visible) and thus the SelectedNodes property is not null, nor empty.
    4.1: The root node ("0") is not selected and thus the SelectedNodes property is null.

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head runat="server">
       <title></title>
       <script type="text/javascript">

             var tree = Ext.getCmp("TestTreePanel");
             var node = tree.store.getNodeById(nodeID);
             if (node != undefined)
             {
                tree.getSelectionModel().select(node);
             }
          }

    Hello Edgar!

    Thanks your example is paste-and-run! We really appreciate this so we can understand what's happening.

    But at a first thought, it seems to me that it makes sense, and invisible root node not being selectable at all. In fact, I can't select it even if I set the selectionModel's SelectedRows to select it (as long as the RootVisible is false).

    I can understand it as a breaking change between the two versions, but I'm just wondering in which situation you would need the hidden root entry to be selectable. As being hidden, does not make much sense to me. But maybe in the simplified test case you provided it does not make sense.

    I could rather expect a bugfix changed the treePanel so that it does not select the root node by default, which usually is a dummy entrypoint for other nodes (when it is hidden, that is).

    Anyway, if we understand better your need on having it selected, we could try to suggest you one or two solutions, just not sure is this what you really want.

    OK FabrÃ*cio. I thought I was perhaps missing a setting or something. The code-behind was built based on the 2.5 behaviour (i.e. non-null SelectedNodes property). This is a minor thing to fix, so there's no need for a solution.

    Many thanks!

    Glad it works out for you! Thanks for the feedback!
