Programmatically Clicking a Treenode

I have an explorer-like application, with a basic Treeview and Listview. When I click on a node in the treeview, it loads all items into the listview, including folders. I'd like to be able to programmatically click a node in the treeview, based upon if a folder was double-clicked in the listview.

Here's what I have so far:

'ListView DoubleClick Private Sub lstItems_DoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lstItems.DoubleClick Dim SelectedItem As ListViewItem = New ListViewItem SelectedItem = lstItems.SelectedItems(0) If SelectedItem.SubItems(2).Text <> "File Folder" Then Download(CurrentDirectory, SelectedItem.Text) Else End If End Sub 'When user clicks on node, call Fill function, populating the treeview Private Sub tvDir_NodeMouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TreeNodeMouseClickEventArgs) Handles tvDir.NodeMouseClick tvDir.BeginUpdate() Fill(e.Node) tvDir.EndUpdate() End Sub Private Sub Fill(ByVal Node As TreeNode) Node.Nodes.Clear() lstItems.Items.Clear() '... 'Code to Add items to listview and treeview omitted '... 'Change the global variable CurrentDirectory = Node.FullPath End Sub

The problem is, when I try to declare a new node and either pass it through the nodeClick event, or call the Fill() subroutine directly, I get an error when I try to access the Node.FullPath property - "Full path can only be retrieved when a TreeNode has been added to a TreeView. This TreeNode has not been added to a TreeView."

How can I easily click the node needed when all I have is the text, ie: CurrentDirectory & "/" & SelectedItem.Text

Thanks for any suggestions.
