Checkbox filtering in Treelist

[jacquiline]

How can we add the checkbox filtering found in Grid to a Treelist?

I followed this http://dojo.telerik.com/@SiliconSoul/oBoCu

Hi Jacquiline,

Thank you for the provided dojo example.

In order to achieve the same result for Kendo UI TreeList use the same flow of function handlers. The implementation that I made for the purpose could be found in the following dojo:

• https://dojo.telerik.com/IqiduhAq

Filter the column "LastName". This will call the "filterMenuInit" method and set the needed multi checkbox filter menu.

After making the needed tests locally let me know if further assistance is needed. 

Kind Regards,

I had the same need actually (maybe this could be added as an out of the box option in a future release).  I got the sample working just fine and the checkbox menu comes up.  But if I turn on the Column Menu so that I can also use the interface for selecting columns, the filter init function no longer triggers when the filter menu opens/runs.  Am I missing something?

So I still think this is a bug (the filtermenuinit and filtermenuopen events don't fire when columnMenu is on) but I think I found a work around so figured I'd share in case others are trying to do this too.

Using the dojo code Anton posted above, I had the onFilterMenuInit function to fire on the columnMenuInit function instead and then in the initCheckboxFilter function I changed the helpTextElement variable definition to be "var helpTextElement = e.container.find(".k-filter-menu").children(":first").children(":first");

So far that seems to work
