>>In the nodeclick method, how do I get a reference to that node which was clicked? The only properties I can see at that point is ensurevisible and text. I now want to show the child records in a grid beside the treeview, but to do this, I need to be able to link the clicked on node in the treeview with its appropriate record in al3parnt table so I can move the record pointer in the grid...do I need to add an additional value to the node during filltree? Are there any other node properties to work with?
