Treeview Node Editing

[mal]

Hi,

Is there a way to bring up the editTemplate to edit a node in the treeview control by right clicking and selecting rename option instead of hitting F2 key. Do you have a sample project that does this?

Thanks.

Hello mal,

Yes, you can use a ContextMenu and the RadTreeViewItem`s BeginEdit() method or the IsInEditMode boolean property. You can check out the attached project and ask if you need further assistance.

Thanks, I was able to implement it using BeginEdit method. Is there a way to completely disable the renaming using F2 key.

Hello mal,

You can try to use the KeyDown event of the RadTreeView and set e.Handled == true if the pressed key is F2. Let us know if this helps you.

Hello mal,

You can handle the RadTreeView.PreviewEditStarted() event in case the editing is not initiated by the ContextMenu item. You can define a bool property - isEditAllowed and to only set it to true in the EditItem() method. Then you will need to set it back to false as soon as the item is edited. I modified the sample project to illustrate this approach.
