In Visual Studio 2003 one of the default treeview behaviors I relied
on was the ability to do type ahead searching for treenodes. Like if
my treeview had nodes for the fifty states, typing "ark" would make
the treeview select the Arkansas node. But, now that I've upgraded my
project to VS 2005, typing "ark" makes the treeview select Alabama,
then Rhode Island, then Kansas.

Has anyone else noticed this? I'm hoping there's some property I
haven't found yet to get that functionality back..

Thanks!
Kevin

Nevermind... when I tried creating a treeview with the 50 states like
the example I gave I found that the type-ahead searching still does
work in VS 2005. I have BeforeSelect and AfterSelect handlers in my
real project, so I'm guessing some of the code in those gets treated
differently in 2005 than 2003, and is breaking the ability to do type-
ahead because of the event handling.

Thanks,
Kevin
