Currently, in Extended SelectionMode,  RadTreeView selects multiple Items with Shift + Click selection only if there is another RadTreeViewItem already selected with mouse.

Other controls like RadListBox, RadGridView hold reference to the business object which should be the start (the target) of the multiselection. RadTreeView holds such reference with weak reference to the container (RadTreeViewItem) and only if this container is selected with Mouse.

Adding such method (SetSelectionAnchor) in RadTreeView will help users better control the multiselection process.
