Hi Joseph,


You could retrieve the dataItem of the selected node and check it's hasChildren property.
E.g.

var tv = $("#treeview").data("kendoTreeView");
var item = tv.dataItem(tv.select());
var hasChildren = item.hasChildren;

I wish you a great day!

Hi,

Thanks for the response.

I tried the same. But unable to get the Child Nodes.

I am getting this exception "Unhandled exception at line 278, column 10 in http://localhost:47216/treeView
0x800a138f - Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'hasChildren' is null or not an object"

items are returning undefined.

Please find the attached screenshot for more information.

Help me in this.

Regards,
Satish

Hi,

I found the solution. Please find the details below.

function onSelect(e) {
    var tv = $("#treeview-right").data("kendoTreeView");
    var selectedNode = tv.select();
    var item = tv.dataItem(e.node);
    var hasChildren = item.hasChildren;
}

Hello,

I am glad that you managed to fix the previous issue. To achieve the current requirement you could use the parentNode() method. It will return the parent node of the item or undefined if there is no such.
E.g.

if(item.parentNode() === undefined) {
    //it is main node
}
