DrillDown before loading OrgChart

[Robert]

I have created a page that displays an OrgChart and lets the user drilldown. I also let the user generate a PDF of the OrgChart. I am using a third party control to generate the PDF, and have a seperate page that I pass to the PDF generator(That page has less formatting like a printer friendly version). My problem is that although the drilldown works fine on the first page I need to be able to load the second page drilled down the same way. Is there a way to programmatically set the drilldown at load?

Or is there a way to generate an image of the chart, and then I could use that to create the PDF?

Hello Robert,

By default such behavior is not supported in RadOrgChart but one way to achieve similar behavior is to override the default _executeDrillDown method. Here is a sample code that would drill to the node with hierarchical index "0:0":

var $ = $telerik.$,

                $T = Telerik.Web.UI;

 

            function pageLoad() {

                var orgChart = $find("<%=RadOrgChart1.ClientID%>");

 

                if (orgChart._drilledNodeHierarchicalIndex!="0:0") {

                    orgChart.drillDownOnNode("0:0");

                }

            }

 

           

Hope this will be helpful.
