Uses for DataKeyNames and ParentDataKeyNames Properties

[SHP]

I'm not sure I understand the potential uses of these properties.  They can take multiple values but I'm not sure how that is used by the control.  Are they to be used for multiple levels of self-referencing?  If so that would be nice and I'd like to see an example of that.  Currently I have to bind to data that has four levels in the hierarchy.  I am doing the work in the database to put results into a self-referencing ID-ParentID format.  I was hoping there was a way to tell the control that there were several levels of child-parent keys.  This appears like it might be the way but I haven't seen any examples.  Am I misinterpreting the uses of these properties?

Hello Cevin,

The ParentDataKeyNames and DataKeyNames properties define the hierarchical relations in the RadTreeList. Please examine this help topic in order to learn more about the control's structure.
You can see the live demos to see how it works.

Do not hesitate to get back to us if any further questions arise.

Kind regards,

Hi,

how can I use treelist when I have parent key two columns ?

Hello,

The ParentDataKeyNames and DataKeyNames properties are arrays, so they can hold multiple data-field names.

I hope this helps.
