TreeNode is no longer highlighted when TreeView loses focus

[bg_ie]

Hi,

I have a treeview where the user selects a node before editing it. The
problem is that when the user clicks on the text box to edit the node,
the treeview loses its focus and the node is no longer highlighted. To
fix this I do something like -

void treeView_AfterSelect(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
selectedNode.BackColor = Color.White;
selectedNode.ForeColor = Color.Black;

selectedNode = (TreeNodeEx)
((TreeView)sender).SelectedNode;

selectedNode.BackColor = Color.DarkBlue;
selectedNode.ForeColor = Color.White;

textBoxComment.Text = selectedNode.Text;
}

But now my tree view flickers a little... and I don't really like this
implementation anyway. How can I keep the last selected node
highlighted even when the treeview loses its focus?

Thanks,

Barry

Try setting the tree view property HideSelection to false

treeView1.HideSelection = false;
