Is there a way to programmatically select a node in a VirtualTreeView?

Question

I need to select a specific node in VirtualTreeview programmatically, but I don't find any method to do so. Anybody could help with a solution?

Interestingly this changes visually the focus in the tree but focusednode remains the same... — Willer Bononi, Feb 02 '15 at 12:50
Uhn... I got this. Changing the focusednode to the one seems to work... [code]VirtualTree.focusednode:=NodeSelected — Willer Bononi, Feb 02 '15 at 12:54

Select nodes like this:

VirtualTree.Selected[Node] := True;

If you have a multi-select tree then precede this by clearing any existing selection:

VirtualTree.ClearSelection;

This worked for me to select the node but later in the code I am attempting to grab the .FocusedNode but this is nil. Is there something else I can do to 'focus' the node also? The node seems to be focused when I actually click the node but not when doing it programatically using .selected[Node] := true. – Charles S May 08 '19 at 19:10
