cannot fire a "click" event in a tree

[flamant]

Hi,
I have a treepanel in my left panel :

title: 'navigation',
region:'west',
width: 175,
minSize: 100,
maxSize: 250,
layout: 'accordion',
items:[
          {
        title: 'etudes',
        iconCls: 'studiesIcon',
        items: [new Tree.TreePanel({
            id: 'metadataTreeView',
            useArrows: true,
            autoScroll: false,
            animate: true,
            enableDD: true,
            border: false,
            dataUrl: './getStudyList.htm?targetDivId=metadataContent',
            root: {
                nodeType: 'async',
                text: 'etudes',
                draggable: false,
                id: 'studyRoot',
                                cls: 'metadataTreeViewClass',
                expand: true,
                subEntityName: 'Study',
                create: true,
                allowedActions: {}
                },
            listeners: {
                    click: function(node) {
                        selectedMetadataNode = node;
                                                alert('ca passe 2')
                        updateActionsAvailability(.....);
                        doClickAction(....);
                        },
                    contextmenu: function(node){
                        selectedMetadataNode = node;
                        updateActionsAvailability(....);
                                }
                       }

in my center panel, I try to fire the event "click" of my treeview :

function doSubmitAction(form, gridsToUpdate, actionUrl, postAction, waitingMessage, failureMessage, successMessage, statusBar, tree, mode, module, ArgAction, node){
        
        form.submit({
            url:actionUrl,
            waitMsg: waitingMessage,
            success: function(form, action){
                                 var resultingId = action.response.responseXML.childNodes[0].childNodes[3].textContent;
                                  tree.reloadAndApplyState();
                                  if (ArgAction == 'insert') {
                                          var nodeToClick = tree.getNodeById(node.attributes['subPath']+resultingId);
                                         alert('ca passe1 node.attributes-subPath-resultingId='+node.attributes['subPath']+resultingId);
                                          /*nodeToClick.select();
                                           alert('ca passe 10');  */
                                          var test = tree.fireEvent("click",nodeToClick);
                                           alert('ca passe 11 firevent='+test);
                                    } else {
                                            ......
                                     }
                        },
            failure: function (result, request) {
                        updateStatusBar(...);
                        Ext.Msg.alert(...);
                        }
        })
}

In case of success in the function "doSubmitAction" and in the case (ArgAction == 'insert') I print "ca passe1" correctly but afterwards it doesn't want to execute neither "nodeToClick.select();" nor "var test = tree.fireEvent("click",nodeToClick);"
Does anybody has an idea ? Thanks in advance

why try to synthesize a click event? Why not just select the node!?

I thought that, but then I thought maybe there will be an unknown, arbitrary number of listeners which will still need to know.

Firing an event should work. The OP just needs to get his act together and debug it. Step into the fireEvent call and find out why it's not doing what he hoped it would.

It's what we all have to do when just staring at the code fails!

I doubt the OP is aware on how to debug .

He's using alerts.

Then his project will overrun, and might even fail.

I couldn't imagine a life w/out at least firebug
