I think you're mixing up the Treeview.SelectedItem property itself and the object that it references. There's obviously the equivalent of a VFP SelectedItem_Assign in there to prevent users assigning anthing other than a tree.node, .NULL. or .F. to it. But when you access properties and methods of the .SelectedItem you are just accessing the node to which it refers and can manipulate it in exactly the same way as any Tree node.

Is this simply because the .SelectedItem property may be set implicitly (for example by mouseclick) by the treeview itself ?
