Expand node with single click

[Chad]

Hi, 

I need the selected node to expand on single click if the node has children.  I tried using the toggle() method on the selected node during the dropdowntree change event but have been unable to produce the desired result.

For your health,

Chad

Hi Chad,

You can access the TreeView of the DropDownTree and use the events and methods it provides. More information on how to access it you can find here: treeview. After accessing the treeview, you can add the expand event. In the event handler check if the node is expanded, if not call the expand() method to the closest node that is not expanded. You can find more insight on the method here: expand() method.

Another possible approach would be to use the expandTo() method and as an input argument pass the node until which you would like to expand. 

I also created a sample Dojo project to demonstrate how the aforementioned suggestions could be implemented:

Please give it a try and see if it works as expected on your side as well.

Kind regards,

Thanks Tsvetomir,

This lead me to the answer I was looking for.  treeview.expand(treeview.findByText("foo")); did the trick for me
