Definition
Important

Represents the event or events to raise when a node in the TreeView control is selected.
public enum class TreeNodeSelectActionpublic enum TreeNodeSelectActiontype TreeNodeSelectAction = Public Enum TreeNodeSelectAction- Inheritance
Fields
| Expand | 1 | Raises the TreeNodeExpanded event when a node is selected. |
| None | 3 | Raises no events when a node is selected. |
| Select | 0 | Raises the SelectedNodeChanged event when a node is selected. |
| SelectExpand | 2 | Raises both the SelectedNodeChanged and TreeNodeExpanded events when a node is selected. |
Examples
The following example demonstrates how to use the TreeNodeSelectAction enumeration to represent the event that is raised when a node is clicked in the TreeView control:

Remarks
When the TreeNode.NavigateUrl property is set to a value other than an empty string (""), clicking the node navigates to the specified URL. If the TreeNode.NavigateUrl property is set to an empty string, clicking the node causes a postback. The TreeNode.SelectAction property determines the events to raise on the postback. By default, the TreeNode.Select event is raised. No events are raised if the TreeNode.NavigateUrl property is set.
Note
The TreeView.HoverNodeStyle property is not rendered for a node with its TreeNode.SelectAction property set to the None value.
