Hello!  
In Tree View in version of Ignition 7.6.6 if i select the folder - in selectedItem i see “-1”.

In Tree View in version of Ignition 7.7.2 rc1 if i select the folder - in selectedItem i see the number of first item in this folder.

In 7.6.6 the “-1” was helpfull to screen out the folders and making script only when “no\_folder” item is selected.

How i can realize it in 7.7.2 ?

It looks like right now the tree view component is reporting indexes incorrectly.

For what its worth, -1 was never the intended “folder” value. Most people don’t include folders in their datasets, so the folders are implicitly created and don’t _have_ an index.
