Disallow Select but stay enabled

[Richard Slade]

Hello,

I'm using a tree view for a wizard, to show the users what step they are on. It seems perfect for it as I can use different images for each step.

However, I'd like to be able to keep the control enabled (so that the images and the selected node show in colour), but also disallow the user from selecting a different node. Can you tell me if this is possible, or perhaps some workaround that may do the same thing please?

Thanks

Hello,

I've figured out an easy way to do this now, so no need for a reply.
Thanks.

For reference, I have done the following:

 

''' <summary>Used to allow the class to internally select an item. Not for user use</summary>

 

 

Private m_AllowSelect As Boolean

 

 

''' <summary>Cancel the selection if a user tries to select another node in the tree</summary>

 

 

Private Sub RadTreeView_Selecting(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadTreeViewCancelEventArgs) Handles RadTreeView.Selecting

 

e.Cancel =

Not m_AllowSelect

 

 

End Sub

 

and where I need to set the selected item internally....

m_AllowSelect =

True 'temp allow select

 

node.Selected =

True

 

m_AllowSelect =

False 'disallow select

 

This means I can set it programatically from the class, but the users cannot.

Hello Richard Slade,

You can achieve the desired behavior in two ways.

You can either subscribe to RadTreeView Selected event and do this:

void radTreeView1_Selected(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.radTreeView1.SelectedNode = null;
}

Or you can subscribe to the Selecting event and do this:

void radTreeView1_Selecting(object sender, RadTreeViewCancelEventArgs e)
{
    e.Cancel = true;
}

I hope that helps. Do not hesitate to write me back if you have further questions.

Best wishes,
