Multiple selection works by using ctrl key, but we have to click 20-30 times if we have to select many items. If the nodes are sorted, is there a way to select them shift style, so that all leaf nodes are selected between 2 clicks.

Hello Kapil,

Currently RadTreeView does not support this type of selection. I have logged it as a feature request and will be considered and prioritized. Your telerik points have been updated.

I am looking for the same functionality.  I have the source code but could not find where you are performing the method for the CTRL key.  Is it possible for me to add the functionality myself similiar to the CTRL key?

Hi Eric Swanson,

The code that you need to look at is at RadTreeView.js and the method is _onKeyDown

You can add this as a feature request in our public issue tracking system. You can go and vote for this feature to be implemented in the future versions.

Sincerely yours,

I was just wondering if this has been fixed yet. I have a RadTreeView on a page which can have anywhere from 10-1000 items. The client would like to be able to select the first item hold the Shift key and select any number of items in the TreeView. Right now the Shift key function much the same as a Ctrl Key in the treeview.

        <telerik:RadTreeView ID="RadTreeView1" runat="server" MultipleSelect="true">  
            <Nodes> 
                <telerik:RadTreeNode runat="server" Text="RootNode">  
                    <Nodes> 
                        <telerik:RadTreeNode runat="server" Text="SubAssy1">  
                            <Nodes> 
                                <telerik:RadTreeNode runat="server" Text="Part1">  
                                </telerik:RadTreeNode> 
                                <telerik:RadTreeNode runat="server" Text="Part2">  
                                </telerik:RadTreeNode> 
                                <telerik:RadTreeNode runat="server" Text="Part3">  
                                </telerik:RadTreeNode> 
                            </Nodes> 
                        </telerik:RadTreeNode> 
                    </Nodes> 
                </telerik:RadTreeNode> 
            </Nodes> 
        </telerik:RadTreeView>

Hello Michael Diaz,

No, it's not supported.

But we definitely will consider this for future development.

Okay, I see that shift/click multi-select has been implemented.  Works fine until I implement the OnNodeClick event in the RadTreeView.  Then I get the following javascript error at line 5851:  "Microsoft JScript runtime error: Unable to get value of the property '_getHierarchicalIndex': object is null or undefined"

I have a two RadTreeViews and a RadGrid.  When a Node is selected, I call the OnNodeClick event is called to load data into the grid related to the selected node.  Another feature is the user can drag the node from RadTreeView1 to RadTreeView2.  Either a single Node or multiple Nodes.  Using Alt/Click to select multiple nodes works fine.  It appears that the OnNodeClick event is not called   Using Shift/Click to select multiple nodes, however, throws the above javascript.  It appears to me that the OnNodeClick event is being called when it shouldn't be.  When I remove the OnNodeClick event, shif/click works.  I've tried just doing a 'return' in the OnNodeClick method error occurs, so it's not somethin in the code that loads the Grid. 

Any suggestions on how I can prevent this from happening?

Hi,
I have an issue with the shift+click selection of the tree. I have a treeview with multiple selection set to true, but when the control is rendered no node is selected by default. Because of that, if I press shift+click I get the following javascript error: "Error: 'null' is null or not an object". How can I prevent this error? I don't need the shit selection so if there is a way to disable it, it would be great.

Hi Andrei,

Would you please let us know what code should we add to the Accessibility demo in order to observe this shift-click issue?

Please clarify which browser version are you using as well?

You can also refer to this help topic in case your issue is similar.

Hello Sridhar,

RadTreeView does support Multiple selection. To enable it, you just have to set the MultipleSelect property of the TreeView to true. With this property enabled, the TreeView supports Shift+Click selection, as well as Ctrl+Click selection out of the box. You can experience this feature in the following demo:
