Load Treelist on Client Side

[Zoe]

Hi, I want a  treelist looks like below

- node 1                   checkbox      text box
  - node 1.1              checkbox      text box
     - node 1.1.1        checkbox       text box
     - node 1.1.2        checkbox       text box
- node 2                   checkbox      text box
  - node 2.1              checkbox      text box
     - node 2.1.1        checkbox       text box
     - node 2.1.2        checkbox       text box


My treelist will load data for textbox, but I also want user to be able to input some data through text box. And on the page there is a save button. When user click on it, the content in text box will be saved. I want to load this treelist on client side so that each time I expand/ collapse, it won't postback and textbox value can be maintained there.  And When I save data, I will loop through treelist, all t records, no matter its parent node has been expanded or not will be saved.  Is it possible to do that?

 I am very new to .net and I  am looking for  the right way to achieve the tree like and also gridview like function. I am not sure which is the best control to use. I appreciate your advice. 

Thank you so much.

Hi Zoe,

Unfortunately, the RadTreeList control does not have a client expand\collapse mode. In order to achieve your scenario you will need a custom implementation in order to loop through all TextBox controls in the RadTreeList ItemCommand event, saving their values in a variable and then retrieving the data in the Page PreRender event.
