Hi there,

When I select an entry in a TreeView, it highlights  
this line. Is there some way to deselect this again?

I ask because I have a use case where there is only one  
line stored in my list store, and its a bit confusing  
to have it highlighted always, without a way to  
unselect it again. (Select via left mouse button click)

Regards

“shev”

Programatically, you can do:

tv.selection.unselect\_all
