Hi,

We display a tree viewer, in which we need to select a particular node by default.

The tree when displayed shows only the root node.

We tried using tree paths by,

we constructed the tree path, using createChildPath and got a successfull tree path and used the below methods...

thisTreeViewer.setExpandedState(prevPath, true); --> wasn't working

thisTreeViewer.setExpandedTreePaths(prevPath); --> wasn't working

thisTreeViewer.reveal(prevPath); ---> wasn't working

we tried

StructuredSelection structuredSelections = new StructuredSelection(selectionArray);
thisTreeViewer.setSelection(structuredSelections, true);

which was also not working in our case..

Is there something we are missing here...

only thisTreeViewer.expandAll() is working...

Regards,
Aravind

Hi,

did you try:

this.treeViewer.getTree().showItem( myTreeItem );


maybe this works for you. Otherwise it would be nice if you post some snippet

This should work. I assume you did not provide equal items when
constructing the selection object. This can happen, if your objects
types don't override equal/hash correctly. You can make your tree
equality-aware without need to modify your types, if you provide an
IElementComparer to the tree (I think you need to activate useHashLookup
to make that work).
