How to multiple select node without pressing ctrl key?

[Big Q]

Hi teleirk,
    How to multiple select node without pressing ctrl key? I have a secnario, when user select a node, add it value to a textbox, but I don't want to multiple select with any keyboard, only use mouse, how to implement it?
    question 2 : Is there any client method to directly get all the selected nodes?
    suggestion: Why not add a property like ExplandDeeps, in some scenario, we usually need to expland 1 or 2 level automatic of the tree after the data was binded

Hello,


The following code will help you in selecting multiple nodes without pressing "ctrl" key.

Client code:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientNodeClicking(seder, args) {
        args.get_domEvent().ctrlKey = true;
    }
</script>

And the method 'get_selectedNodes'  retrieves an Array of all selected Nodes when MultipleSelect property is on.
RadTreeView

Hi,

"question 2 : Is there any client method to directly get all the selected nodes?"
 - get_selectedNodes method over the RadTreeView client-side object representation.

"Why not add a property like ExplandDeeps, in some scenario, we usually need to expland 1 or 2 level automatic of the tree after the data was binded"
 - We have considered this, but the decision we took is not to implement it since it's pretty easy to implement it using the API we already provide.

I hope this will be helpful for you!

Hi,
    Thanks for you reply, it helps me a lot.
    As the suggestion I regarded to, I don't think it's "pretty easy ", the API that only provid a method called ExpandAllNodes, if I want to expand the first 2 layers, I have to write some code in NodeDataBound event, and have to judge if the node has parentNode. MS standard treeview control also has such a property, I thank if RadTreeView add this, it will be much more convenient.

Hi Shinu,

Thanks for your code. It worked without any issues until a recent RadTreeView update, it doesn't seem to be working in 2013 Q3 version.

Any suggestion?

Thanks in advance!
