Hey SO, got a question about the TreeView control in Silverlight.
I have an application which dynamically adds elements to a treeview. Some of the elements are long enough to require horizontal scrolling. When they are added to the treeview, my treeview remains correctly all the way scrolled left so you have to scroll to see the end of the item. However, if I click on one of my items (which the hides the treeview), and then use the 'back to results' button I implemented (note this only deals with visibility changes) the treeview becomes visible and it is automatically scrolled to the center.
Does anyone know how I can get the treeview to scroll all the way left when I hit back to results?
I've tried messing with the treeview template:
<Style TargetType="controls:TreeView" x:Name="SCREW">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#FFFFFFFF" />
<Setter Property="Foreground" Value="#FF000000" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="Left" />
<Setter Property="VerticalContentAlignment" Value="Top" />
<Setter Property="Cursor" Value="Arrow" />
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="1" />
<Setter Property="Padding" Value="1" />
<Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="#FF000000" />
<Setter Property="IsTabStop" Value="True" />
<Setter Property="TabNavigation" Value="Once" />
<Setter Property="Template">
<Setter.Value>

<Path Margin="-1,3,0,0" Fill="#FFDC000C" Data="M 1,0 L6,0 A 2,2 90 0 1 8,2 L8,7 Z" />
<Path Margin="-1,3,0,0" Fill="#FFFFFFFF" Data="M 0,0 L2,0 L 8,6 L8,8" />
</Grid>
</Border>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>
But the problem with that is I don't know how to access the ScrollViewer from the code behind... so I can't call ScrollView.setScrollOffset(0d,0d) or anything like that.
Any ideas? Thanks a million.
One last thing, I'd like to try to avoid implementing a new control that extends treeview. I'm really hoping there is a way to access/modify and use functions associated with the control template from c# codebehind.
