[Solved] client-side adding of nodes

[Mitch Milam]

I ran into an interesting issue this morning that I could use an opinion on.

I have the following event defined to fire OnClientNodeChecking:

function AfterClientCheck(sender, eventArgs)
{
 var node = eventArgs.get_node(); 
 var secondTreeView = $find('RadTreeView4');
 secondTreeView.get_nodes().add(node);
}

The code is supposed to make a copy of a node from one treeview and add it to a second treeview.

Only it doesn't just Add it, it actually MOVES it from one treeview to the other.

Is this by design?

Anyway, the solution I found to work around this issue is to create a new node:

var node3 = new Telerik.Web.UI.RadTreeNode();
node3.set_text(node.get_text());
secondTreeView.get_nodes().add(node3);

Thanks, Mitch

Hello Mitch Milam,

Indeed this behavior is by design. You cannot have one node to exist in more than one treeview. That is why you need to clone the node just the way you did it in your solution.
