Adding and Removing multiple nodes to the TreeView control

[David Rainton]

We use KendoUI TreeView controls for editing huge amounts of data (~ 10K of nodes). After adding a custom multi-selection and drag-n-drop functionalities we found that the control performs slowly when a user moves large number of nodes. Primary reason for this is that since TreeView and HierarchicalDataSource don't have methods for adding or removing multiple nodes. Each node has to be removed and added individually which causes a very large overhead on state refresh after each operation. Is there any ways to avoid such overhead?

Hello David,

Indeed this is a performance consuming task and we cannot give you tips how to improve it since we do not provide it out-of-the-box. Feel free to share an idea to improve the built-in functionality of the Kendo TreeView on our Kendo User Voice page.
