Expand and Select Node with ID in TreeView

[KRichter]

Hi,

I'm almost done with the code from the subject. The tree expands already to the given ID, but unfortunately it does not select the node given by ID

Edit: Just to clarify, because I read a few threads regarding this issue - I don't get any error messages nor do I get 'undefined' for any variables. The node just doesn't get selected.

function expandAndSelectNode(id, treeViewName) {

    // get the Kendo TreeView widget by it's ID given by treeviewName

    var treeView = $(treeViewName).data('kendoTreeView');

     

    // find node with data-id = id

    var item = $(treeViewName).find("li[data-id='" + id + "']").find(".k-in");

     

    // expand all parent nodes

    $(item).parentsUntil('.k-treeview').filter('.k-item').each(

                function (index, element) {

                    $(treeViewName).data('kendoTreeView').expand($(this));

                }

            );

     

    // get DataSourceItem by given id

    var nodeDataItem = treeView.dataSource.get(id);

 

    //get node within treeview widget by uid

    var node = treeView.findByUid(nodeDataItem.uid);

    $(treeView).select(node);

    //treeView.select(".k-item:last");

}

I also tried $(treeView).select(item), since it should already point to the <span> item I want to select anyway. This didn't work.
Then I tried tried $(treeView).select(item.closest('.k-item')), since it points to the parent <li> element, but this didn't work either.
 The uncommented line (treeView.select(".k-item:last")) was just for testing and works.

I'm a little bit stuck and glad about any hints.

Hi,

The treeview object should not be wrapped in order to use the treeview methods and not the jQuery methods e.g.

treeView.select(node);
