you noted that it doesn't move "like when the treeview has the focus".so for this to work the way you want it to, your SendKeys method wouldhave to move the focus away from the entry. thus, i submit that theproblem is not the absence of a SendKeys method (it can certainly bedone, btw), but the fact that the treeview's behaviour when scrollingdepends on whether it has keyboard focus or not. i've written "SendKeys"in the past, but i always end up finding that there is no actual needfor it or that it doesn't accomplish what i am actually trying toaccomplish.
