TreeView Keyboard Navigation Issue

[DennisD]

Hi All,

First I want to say how cool the Ext TreeView is. Simply awesome!
My issue is this...after the tree is created I am unable to navigate through it using the keyboard until I have expanded or collapsed any node using the mouse by clicking on the + or - icon.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

because it does not have the keyboard focus

try to either select the first child of your treeobj or call Ext.Element's focus() method

Thanks papasi, that worked. But I'm a little confused as to why it is necessary. Is it because clicking the +/- gives the tree the focus, but clicking a node does not?

Thanks again.
