multiselect nodes context menu postback issue

[cramer]

Hello,

Have a treeview and multiple nodes selected.

On server side click of context menu can not get the treeview selected nodes as always returns a count of 0.
How can I get the selected nodes to apply the context menu command to each?

Example: 
select 3 nodes and context menu command "Copy"
on server side can only ever access the node via RadTreeViewContextMenuEventArgs node

Need to be able to loop and do the "Copy" command on the 3 selected nodes...

Thanks,

Marc Cramer

Hello,

Indeed in the RadTreeViewContextMenuEventArgs object you are able to access only the right clicked node. In order to access the checked nodes I would suggest using the RadTreeView object property CheckedNodes and this will return a collection with all checked nodes. Since this is a collection you can iterate through its items and get the information you need for each item.  Here is a sample code that implements very similar scenario:
//markup code

<telerik:RadTreeView ID="RadTreeView1" runat="server" CheckBoxes="true" OnContextMenuItemClick="RadTreeView1_ContextMenuItemClick">

    <Nodes>

        ....


    </Nodes>

    <ContextMenus>

        <telerik:RadTreeViewContextMenu>

            <Items>

                <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Item 1"></telerik:RadMenuItem>

                <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Item 2"></telerik:RadMenuItem>

            </Items>

        </telerik:RadTreeViewContextMenu>

    </ContextMenus>

</telerik:RadTreeView>

//code behind

protected void RadTreeView1_ContextMenuItemClick(object sender, RadTreeViewContextMenuEventArgs e)
    {
        Label1.Text = "Checked nodes count: " + RadTreeView1.CheckedNodes.Count;
    }

Replied to the ticket request...
Thanks.

appears that the naming convention for events was misleading me...

Was under impression order of events would be

• onClientContextMenuItemClicking
• RadTreeView1_ContextMenuItemClick
• onClientContextMenuItemClicked

The order they are actually occurring for me is

• onClientContextMenuItemClicking
• onClientContextMenuItemClicked
• RadTreeView1_ContextMenuItemClick

so under my assumption I was deselecting all nodes at the onClientContextMenuItemClicked event since I assumed we had all ready handled the RadTreeView1_ContextMenuItemClick event.

Thanks.
