I have a tree component which I have menu of links on. I want on load to auto click the first item (As on change event loads up the content). I have used \_root.myTree.setSelectedIndex(0); which highlights the first one but it don’t click it. There is a on change eventlistener but I can’t use this to trigger the click. Any help would be great!
