Select item in TreeViewer from code [message #262975]

I have a problem with the TreeViewer and selecting a specific object from
code.

I'm trying something like this:

treeviewer.setSelection(new StructuredSelection(myObject), true);

where myObject is an object in the model. This works fine as long as
myObject is already visible and expanded. If the tree is not currently
showing the object, it doesn't seem to select it (or the selection at least
isn't visible)..

Is there a simple nice way to "select and expand if needed" method out
there?
