  Hi,
  
  I have a tree view with IsTriStateMode set to false, but when I reorder the children of an unchecked item - some of which are checked - the item goes to an indeterminate state. Any ideas why this might be happening?

  I'm having another issue with the checkboxes; I'm using them to indicate items to be deleted, but when I delete an item that has children which are checked, the children remain in the CheckedItems collection (even though they're no longer in the tree!).

  Hi Derek,
  
  We are aware of several existing issues with the CheckedItems collection of the RadTreeView, one of them is:
  TreeView: When a checked item is removed from the Items collection it is still listed in the CheckedItems collection
  
  The good news is that we will be working on RadTreeView`s issues during the second half of the current Q3 (September- November). We also wanted to ask you the exact steps you perform in reproducing the issue with the drag and drop operation and the undesired Indeterminate state. Any runnable sample or just XAML will  be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
  Best wishes,

  So this drag and drop problem only appears to happen when it is bound to a data source, rather than filled with treeviewitems.
  Here's the xaml and code-behind to reproduce:
  

  <UserControl x:Class="ESC.Sandboxes.DLudwig.Silverlight.MainPage"

          xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

          xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

          xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

          xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"

          xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"

          mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignWidth="640" d:DesignHeight="480">

      <UserControl.Resources>

          <telerik:HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="dataItemTemplate" ItemsSource="{Binding Children}" >

              <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" />

          </telerik:HierarchicalDataTemplate>

      </UserControl.Resources>

      <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">

          <telerik:RadTreeView

              IsTriStateMode="False"

              IsDragDropEnabled="True"

              IsOptionElementsEnabled="True"

              ItemsOptionListType="CheckList"

              ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"

              ItemTemplate="{StaticResource dataItemTemplate}">

          </telerik:RadTreeView>

      </Grid>

  </UserControl>

  using System.Windows.Controls;

  using System.Collections.ObjectModel;

   

  namespace ESC.Sandboxes.DLudwig.Silverlight

  {

      public partial class MainPage : UserControl

      {

          public MainPage()

          {

              InitializeComponent();

              DataContext = new DataSource();

          }

      }

   

      public class DataSource

      {

          public ObservableCollection<DataItem> Items { get; set; }

          public DataSource()

          {

              Items = new ObservableCollection<DataItem>()

              {

                  new DataItem()

                  {

                      Name = "Parent",

                      Children = new ObservableCollection<DataItem>()

                      {

                          new DataItem() { Name = "Child 1", Children = new ObservableCollection<DataItem>() },

                          new DataItem() { Name = "Child 2", Children = new ObservableCollection<DataItem>() },

                          new DataItem() { Name = "Child 3", Children = new ObservableCollection<DataItem>() }

                      }

                  }

              };

          }

      }

   

      public class DataItem

      {

          public string Name { get; set; }

          public ObservableCollection<DataItem> Children { get; set; }

      }

  }

  
  To reproduce, simply check one of the children, and reorder the children. If a checked child is reordered, it loses its checked status (which seems reasonable); but if another child is reordered, or there are any checked children, the parent's checked state goes to indeterminate.

  Thank you for sending us more information about this issue. We managed to reproduce it and we logged it as a bug in our PITS where you can track its progress.
  
  I updated your Telerik points for bringing the issue to our attention.

  Hi,
  
  Is there anyone help me with this concern? Does the Telerik support CheckBox control? Does it provide tri-state on CheckBox control?
  
  If yes, can you give me any sample about this, it would be a big help with me. Thank you all,

  Hi Hieu,
  
  The RadTreeView control exposes CheckBox functionality and you can find more info about it here. However, it is important to keep in mind that the ''tri-state" built-in logic of the RadTreeView will work as expected only if the RadTreeView control is manually populated with RadTreeViewItems (in xaml or from code-behind). This means that in databinding scenarios you'll have to create your own custom "tri-state" logic. So if you're binding the RadTreeView control, I'd suggest following the approach described in this code library.
  
  Let us know if the information helps or if we can further assist you.
