Check / Uncheck TreeView Dynamically

[Ahmet Özgür]

Hello,

I have a treeview control and want to check the nodes from code dynamically according to the values coming from the database. Below is my xaml

<telerik:RadTabItem.Content>
      <telerik:RadTreeView Name="TreeViewCategories" SelectionMode="Extended"
            IsLineEnabled="True" ItemsOptionListType="CheckList" IsOptionElementsEnabled="True"
            IsRootLinesEnabled="True" IsTriStateMode="True" >
            <telerik:RadTreeView.ItemTemplate>
                  <HierarchicalDataTemplate ItemsSource="{Binding Path=ChildCategories, Mode=TwoWay}">
                         <StackPanel>
                                <TextBlock  Text="{Binding Name}" Name="textblockName"></TextBlock>
                         </StackPanel>
                  </HierarchicalDataTemplate>
            </telerik:RadTreeView.ItemTemplate>
      </telerik:RadTreeView>
</telerik:RadTabItem.Content>

I try your solution at this page
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/wpf/treeview/how-to-check-uncheck-items-from-code-behind.aspx

But could not resolve it. When i try the method mentioned at the solution it gives an error. The error comes from the if statement
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object". Below is the code.

void ItemContainerGenerator_StatusChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if ((sender as RadTreeView).ItemContainerGenerator.Status == System.Windows.Controls.Primitives.GeneratorStatus.ContainersGenerated)
            {
                foreach (RadTreeViewItem item in TreeViewCategories.Items)
                {
                    item.CheckState = System.Windows.Automation.ToggleState.On;
                }
            }
        }

Can you suggest a solution please.

Regards.

Hello Ahmet Özgür,

Please find attached a sample project that shows how to accomplish the desired functionality.
I have prepared a sample project that demonstrates a possible solution to your scenario.
In my business object, I have 3 properties (IsChecked, IsExpanded and IsSelected) that are used to control the 3 corresponding properties of RadTreeViewItem - CheckState, IsExpanded and IsSelected.
The important thing is the following binding:

<telerikNavigation:RadTreeView.ItemContainerStyle>
                <Style TargetType="{x:Type telerikNavigation:RadTreeViewItem}">
                    <Setter Property="CheckState"
                            Value="{Binding IsChecked, Mode=TwoWay, Converter={StaticResource CheckStateConverter}}" />
                    <Setter Property="IsExpanded" Value="{Binding IsExpanded, Mode=TwoWay}" />
                    <Setter Property="IsSelected" Value="{Binding IsSelected, Mode=TwoWay}" />
                </Style>
            </telerikNavigation:RadTreeView.ItemContainerStyle>

I hope that this will help you. Please let us know if you have any other questions or need some more help.

Thank you for your solution. It gave as a good pathway for our project. We created a partial class of our table which we used to bind the treeview. we added the items ischecked,isselected,isexpanded and used your convertor.
