I am using a eoTreeView on a MasterPage and SaveStateCrossPages=true to automatically reselect the last selected node. On the other hand I allow the user to use navigation buttons on the content page, so the selected Node do no longer correspond to the visible content page. Thus I am trying to select the corresponding node programmatically by calling a MasterPage function.
But: It seems that the SaveStateCrossPages-bound reselection of the last selected item is dominant, so programmatical selection seems to be impossible. I am calling the function at the end of the contentpage's PageLoad handler.
How can I implement it?
Can I write this information to the StateCookie? If yes, how can I do it? Is there another/ a better solution?
Thanks!

Hi,
Try to set the selected node inside PreRender instead of Page_Load. The idea is to set it as late as possible. Also you may want to deselect the previous selected node first. Consider the following scenario:
Root
- Child 1 -> Page1.aspx
- Child 2 -> Page2.aspx
Selecting "Child 2" will navigate to Page2.aspx, which in turn automatically select "Child 2" when the page loads. If you try to select "Root" in your code it will not work. This is because if you have a parent node and a child node selected at the same time, the child node will have priority (selecting multiple sibling items at the same do work, such as selecting "Child 1" and "Child 2" at the same time). Thus if you wish to select "Root" while "Child 2" is already selected, you will need to unselect Child 2 first.
Thanks!
