Searching the nodes for a string

[Jim Bassett]

I have a TreeView control that is bound to a XML source to populate the Tree about 3 nodes deep. Trying to search the Tree for a specific node or nodes containing that string but I can't seem to get an idea how. Has anyone done this using this control or has an idea how to go about doing it.

Hi Jim Bassett,

Please take a look at the following forum discussions:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/treeview/filtering-in-treeview.aspx
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/treeview/finding-no-way-to-search-child-node-of-a-radtreeviewitem.aspx
There you can also find an example that shows how to implement a simple filtering functionality in the same way you can create your own search functionality.
I hope that this will be helpful.

Hi thomas kuang,

Please take a look at the attached example. Although if you are using data binding it is better to perform search on the data and then make changes to the visual state of the tree.

Also you can take a look at the following articles:
