Selecting a Nested grid Item in a the propertyGrid

So I am using a property grid that has many nested grid items.

My issue arises that I want to programmatically force a particular item to be selected.
I am trying to force this using a recursive function to find my griditem, then using the GridItem.Select method.
However it seems that the GridItem.Select() method will not select a nested item. This method works fine for base items
but once an item is nested it will no longer be selected. The method seems to do nothing at all.

The method below is what I have been using:

public void SelectGridItem(GridItem baseItem, string description)
                {
                    if (baseItem != null)
                    {
                        if (baseItem.PropertyDescriptor != null &&
                            baseItem.PropertyDescriptor.Description.Equals(description))
                        {
                            baseItem.Select();
                            return;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            foreach (GridItem currentGridItem in baseItem.GridItems)
                            {
                                if (currentGridItem.PropertyDescriptor != null &&
                                    currentGridItem.PropertyDescriptor.Description.Equals(description))
                                {
                                    currentGridItem.Select();
                                    return;
                                }
                                else if (currentGridItem.GridItems != null)
                                {
                                    SelectGridItem(currentGridItem, description);
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                }
