24.13 How can I ensure that a node is selected when the user clicks along the line of a node?

A click event will be fired but a node will not be selected when the user clicks to the right of a node. This code snippets show how you can ensure that a node is selected in this scenario:

[C#]

private void treeView1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

{

treeView1.SelectedNode = treeView1.GetNodeAt(treeView1.PointToClient(Cursor.Position));

}

[VB.NET]

Private Sub treeView1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

treeView1.SelectedNode = treeView1.GetNodeAt(treeView1.PointToClient(Cursor.Position))

End Sub
