Select Initial Folder

Hi,

How do we select the initial folder that is open when the control first loads?  (either in js or server side).

Thanks,

In JS I can do something like:
 
            var path = "folder";
            var tn =tree.selectNode(0, path);
            var tn = tree.getNode(0, path);
            exploreFolder(tn.getRootValue(), tn.getRelativePath(), false, tn);

But only after the root tree has ajax loaded (which doesn't seem to have an event I can use?)
Also this doesn't work for nested folders.

Ideally I'd like to do something like:
 
            var path = "folder/Sub1/Sub2";
            var tn =tree.selectNode(0, );
            var tn = tree.getNode(0, path);
            exploreFolder(tn.getRootValue(), tn.getRelativePath(), false, tn);

Or even better would be to do it on server side...

Thanks,
Barry

FYI, we provide a better client API in v3.0:
FileUltimate 3.0 RC1 is released

That sounds promising.

Is there an ETA for v3.0?  Will it cost extra?

V3 does have a much better client side API.

I have been able to select the initial folder by loading the tree nodes in turn using code similar to this:

      function SelectNode(path) {
            var f = FileManager1;
            var node = f.TreeView.GetNode(0, path);
            node.Expand();
            node.Select();
            if (!node.expanded || path != f.TreeView.selectedNode.GetPath())
                setTimeout("SelectNode_Test('"+path+"')", 500);
        }

But it would be cool to have a node.onExpandComplete or onLoadComplete or similar; to avoid the setTimeout recursion.

Or is there a better way to do this??  Can it be done on server side?

Thanks,
Barry
