Auto-Expand Width of TreeView's Parent Panel?

[Robert]

I have a situation with a Treeview that has an uneven number of branches from top to bottom.  I think this is possibly called a "jagged hierarchy"?  The user has to pick a bottom-level node.  This might be 3 levels from the top or possibly 10.  The end effect of this is that a fully opened treeview might be say 75 pixels wide or perhaps 250 pixels wide.

Rather than me presetting the treeview width to the maximum pixels necessary, is there a way to automatically size the parent Panel (inside of which the treeview resides) when required?

Hello Robert,

Could you please try placing your TreeView inside a div-container looking like this:

<div style="display:inline-block;">
...
</div>

If the div doesn't have any width explicitly set on it, the container should expand in non-relative to the page manner (actually, at some point it should start expanding the page).

Hope this is going to help you!

Nikolay,

It works!  Thank you!!!

By the way, VS2008 rejects "inline-block as a 'display' parameter but does allow the app to run.

By the way, Nikolay, I know the following technically belongs in a different forum section but ...

Is there a way to accomplish the same "auto-expand" functionality when the RadTreeView sits inside of a RadSlidingPane?

Hello rmdw,

Yes, this should be possible, if there isn't a fixed Height and Width on the RadSlidingPane or on any of the parents of the container that we set to the style "display:inline-block".

Hope this is helpful for you!
