AllowRecursiveSelection and SelectedItems

[JP]

Hi,

I'm using a RadTreeList with data bound using a DataTable in NeedDataSource.

I set AllowRecursiveSelection to true so that all child nodes are selected too, even if they are not expanded.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work as expected. If I check SelectedItems on the server, I only get a list containing the currently VISIBLE selected items. The child items are not included. If I expand this selected node, the children are selected as expected and appear in the SelectedItems. If I collapse the node again, they don't appear in SelectedItems anymore.

Also, the Items property only contains the currently VISIBLE items,  I expected it to contain all items.

The SelectedIndexes property is always correct, but I don't know how I could use this information to find the according data in the DataTable.

 

What do I have to do to get SelectedItems to return the invisble selected items too?

Thanks!

I have the exact same problem.

Hello,

I am copying the replies here to so other developers may find it helpful as well:

1. First reply:

Only the visible items of the RadTreeList are loaded at a time, therefore, it is not possible to access the invisible child items of a collapsed parent record, simply because they are not created yet. Therefore, you can temporarily expand all of the items when you want to access the selected items through the entire collection:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadTreeList1.ExpandAllItems();
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    sb.AppendLine("Selected items info:<br/><br/>");
    foreach (TreeListDataItem item in RadTreeList1.SelectedItems)
    {
        string dataKeyID = item.GetDataKeyValue("RecordID").ToString();
        string name = item["Name"].Text;
        string location = item["Location"].Text;

        sb.AppendLine(string.Format(@"<b>DataKeyID:</b> {0}, <b>Name:</b> {1},
                                          <b>Location:</b> {2} <br/>",
                                   dataKeyID, name, location));
    }

    Label1.Text = sb.ToString();
    RadTreeList1.CollapseAllItems();
}

2. Second reply

I've modified to logic to apply the requested improvement:

TreeListExpandedIndexesCollection expandedIndexes;
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    expandedIndexes = new TreeListExpandedIndexesCollection();
    expandedIndexes.AddRange(RadTreeList1.ExpandedIndexes);
    RadTreeList1.ExpandAllItems();
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
    sb.AppendLine("Selected items info:<br/><br/>");
    foreach (TreeListDataItem item in RadTreeList1.SelectedItems)
    {
        string dataKeyID = item.GetDataKeyValue("RecordID").ToString();
        string name = item["Name"].Text;
        string location = item["Location"].Text;

        sb.AppendLine(string.Format(@"<b>DataKeyID:</b> {0}, <b>Name:</b> {1},
                                          <b>Location:</b> {2} <br/>",
                                   dataKeyID, name, location));
    }

    Label1.Text = sb.ToString();
    foreach (TreeListDataItem treeListItem in RadTreeList1.Items)
    {
        TraverseAllItems(treeListItem);
    }
}
public void TraverseAllItems(TreeListDataItem item)
{
    if (!expandedIndexes.Contains(item.HierarchyIndex))
    {
        item.Expanded = false;
    }
    if (item.ChildItems.Count > 0)
    {
        foreach (TreeListDataItem childItem in item.ChildItems)
        {
            TraverseAllItems(childItem);
        }
    }
    return;
}

I hope this will prove helpful.
