Append item - Success Callback not working

[Dirk]

Hello Kendo UI Team,

I'm trying to add and select a new item to a treeview with remote datasource. This works as long as the branch of the tree is already loaded. If the branch is not loaded, the append-method returns null as documented. I tried to add a success callback method but it seems as if it is never called.

function createNewItem() {
    var tree = $("#dvTree").data("kendoTreeView");
    var selected = tree.dataItem(tree.select());
    var newnode = { text: '<new>', type:itemtype };
    newelement = tree.append(newnode, $(tree.select()), function () { alert("success"); });

    console.log(newelement);

    if (newelement) {
        tree.select(newelement);
        tree.trigger("select", { node: newelement });
    }
}

Am I trying a wrong approach here? Kendo UI Version is 2013.2.716.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

You could either clear the current selection and set the selected property of the new node to true:

tree.append({text: '<new>', type:itemtype, selected: true},  tree.select());

or use the select method in the dataBound event in order to select the new node e.g .

tree.one("dataBound", function (e) {
    setTimeout(function () {
        treeview.select(node.find(".k-item:last"));
    });
});
tree.append({  text: '<new>', type:itemtype }, tree.select());
