Conditional Readonly for TreeList

[Mohith]

Hi,

I want to make few levels of a treelist readonly. For example, say the tree has levels 0,1,2,3 etc. I want to make only levels 1 and 2 to be readonly and rest of the levels to be edited. can you please help me with this requirement? I tried by marking ReadOnly = "true" for the bound column but that makes the entire column readonly not only 1 or 2 in the hierarchy. Please help!

Thanks,
Mohith

Hello Mohith,

The easiest way to implement this functionality is to intercept the OnItemCommand event. If the CommandName is "Edit" you can check the NestedLevel index of the TreeListDataItem and if it is equal to 1 or 2 cancel the event. A demonstration of this is shown in this code snippet:

protected void RadTreeList1_ItemCommand(object sender, TreeListCommandEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CommandName == "Edit")
        {
            TreeListDataItem item = e.Item as TreeListDataItem;
            int index=item.HierarchyIndex.NestedLevel;
            if (index == 1 || index == 2) e.Canceled=true;
        }
    }

All the best,
