Can I display checkboxes for specific items?

[fred williams]

I'm creating a windows explorer interface and I'd like to display checkboxes for files and not directories. If I set isOptionElementsEnabled to true it shows checkboxes next to them all. I tried setting isOptionElementsEnabled to true and then programmatically disabling the checkboxes for directories this way:

            DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(_currentPath);
            DirectoryInfo[] directories = di.GetDirectories();
            FileInfo[] files = di.GetFiles();

foreach (DirectoryInfo dInfo in directories)
            {
                RadTreeViewItem tvDirectoryItem = new RadTreeViewItem() { Header = dInfo.Name, DefaultImageSrc = "folder_icon.gif"};
                tvDirectoryItem.ItemsOptionListType = OptionListType.None;
                tvDirectory.Items.Add(tvDirectoryItem);
            }
            foreach (FileInfo fInfo in files)
            {
                //tvDirectory.IsOptionElementsEnabled = true;
                RadTreeViewItem tvFileItem = new RadTreeViewItem() { Header = fInfo.Name };
                tvFileItem.ItemsOptionListType = OptionListType.CheckList;
                tvDirectory.Items.Add(tvFileItem);
            }

but it didn't work. Is there anyway to do this outside of using two separate treeviews on top of each other?

Hi fred williams,

You can use the OptionType property  of the RadtreeViewItem. It applies only to the Item but the ItemsOptionListType applies to all SubItems. Let us kno if this helps you.

private void PopulateTree()
       {
           for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
           {
                RadTreeViewItem tvDirectoryItem = new RadTreeViewItem() { Header = "Dir" + i,
                    ItemsOptionListType = OptionListType.OptionList,
                    OptionType= OptionListType.None };
                for (int j = 0; j < 2; j++)
                {
                     RadTreeViewItem sub = new RadTreeViewItem() { Header = "SubDir" + i};
                     tvDirectoryItem.Items.Add(sub);
                }
                this.treeView.Items.Add(tvDirectoryItem);
           }
           for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
           {
               RadTreeViewItem tvFileItem = new RadTreeViewItem() { Header = "file" + i, ItemsOptionListType = OptionListType.CheckList,
               OptionType=OptionListType.CheckList};
               for (int k = 0; k < 2; k++)
               {
                   RadTreeViewItem sub = new RadTreeViewItem() { Header = "SubFile" + i};
                     tvFileItem.Items.Add(sub);
               }
               this.treeView.Items.Add(tvFileItem);
           }
       }
