Using one datasource

[KobusVisagie]

Hi Everyone

Is it possible to use only one DataTable as a DataSource to create a treeview.
Basically there will be two keys in the table, the first key will be the primery key and the second key(Parent Key) will tell the column to which primery key it should link too.

Somthing like this

Prime Key    Parent Key    Item
1                  null                Car
2                  1                    Tyre
3                  1                    Fuel
4                  2                    Rims
P.S. Null, means it's not linking to anything and it will be the first item(Node) in the tree

If it's possible, can someone give me an example?

Hello Gregory,

In the following help article we are demonstrating how to bind a Telerik`s WPF RadTreeView to SelfReferencing Data. I believe it could be a great starting point for you. Please feel free to ask if you need further assistance or info.

Hi Telerik Team

Is there any way of filtering through nodes using this example? by means of someone typing into a textbox as an example?

Hello Gregory,

A basic filtration could be performed in the TextBox`a TextChanged event handler like so:

private void TextBox_TextChanged(object sender, TextChangedEventArgs e)
       {
           this.radTreeView.ItemsSource = (this.radTreeView.ItemsSource as IEnumerable<DataItem>).Where(x => x.Text.EndsWith("2"));
       }

This filters only the root level collection, if you need to filter the whole hierarchy, you will have to rebuild it again and then rebinding.

Hi Petar,

Do you have an example that filters the whole Hierarchy of the tree?

[Petar Mladenov]

Hello Gans,

 Currently, we don't have such example. You can implement this by traversing and re-creating the whole ViewModel hierarchy, starting from the deepest levels and ending with the root level.
