DataBindings with Checkboxes

[Sternico]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a menu with RadPanelBar for showing groups of services, each group with their services associated. This menu has two levels, the parent level with the name of the group, and the child level with the name of the service. Because the user can select multiple services into a group, the child must be a Checkbox, and here I have the problem.

At this moment I handle two options: I have a DataBindings with a RadPanelItemBinding that give me the structure parent-child with the data correctly formed, but without the checkboxes. I don't know how can I use another control into the DataBindings structure, neither if I can.

In the other side, I have an ItemTemplate with the Checkboxes doing the same, but it doesn't differentiate the information about the parent and the child.

  <telerik:RadPanelBar ID="RadPanelBar1" runat="server" ExpandMode="SingleExpandedItem" DataFieldID="ID" DataFieldParentID="ParentID" Width="90%">
            <DataBindings>
                <telerik:RadPanelItemBinding ImageUrlField="ImageUrl" TextField="Name" Expanded="True" ChildGroupHeight="200px" />
            </DataBindings>

            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:CheckBox ID="CheckBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# ((ServicePanelbarContainer)Container.DataItem).Name %>'/>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </telerik:RadPanelBar>

I'm binding the data to the RadPanelBar with this structure.

Thanks for your help.

 int i = 1;

            foreach (ServiceGroup serviceGroup in groupList)

            {

                serviceGroup.ImageUrl = "../../Img/Icons/" + serviceGroup.ImageUrl;

 

                parsedGroupList.Add(new ServicePanelbarContainer()

                {

                    ParentID = 0,

                    ID = i,

                    Name = serviceGroup.Name,

                    ImageUrl = serviceGroup.ImageUrl

                });

                 

                int j = i;

                i++;

                 

                foreach (Service s in serviceGroup.Service)

                {

                    parsedGroupList.Add(new ServicePanelbarContainer()

                    {

                        ParentID = j,

                        ID = i,

                        Name = s.Name,

                        ImageUrl = ""

                    });

 

                    i++;

                }

            }

RadPanelBar1.DataSource = parsedGroupList;
RadPanelBar1.DataBind();

Hello Sternico,

I prepared a very simplified runnable page where I implemented hierarchical databinding and applying templates to the child items only (as explained in the help article here).

Kind regards,

Thanks Kate, it was enough. With a few changes it works fine as I want.

Regards.
