Showing a QtreeWidget branch as selected

[MrGarbage]

Hi,

I have a QTreeWidget comprised of QTreeWidgetItems.
After I build the tree and collapse it I want a particular
parent node highlighted (as if user clicked on it in the tree)
as shown in the second image.

I have tried all combinations of setCurrentItem(), setselected()
etc, but none seem to have any effect.

What is the solution to this seemingly simple function?

Thanks!

Mark

QTreeWidgetItem::setSelected() should have worked just fine. Can we see the code you tried?

QTreeWidgetItem::setBackground might also help you.
