How to findControl() in Current Node Only

[Marbry]

Hello, I apprently mistakenly thought that the client function findControl() would only search the node that I call it on, but it's not.

It's searching all children nodes of it as well.

var comboBox  = node.findControl( "ComboBoxID" );

comboBox should be null for some nodes that it isn't.  It's traversing the tree structure and finding a match several levels down.

How would I limit that to just within the current node and not within any child nodes?

Hi Marbry,

You must override the findControl method. Here's what it should look like:

Telerik.Web.UI.RadTreeNode.prototype.findControl = function (id) {
   var parent = $telerik.$(this.get_element())
                 .find(".rtIn:first")
                 .children(".rtTemplate")
                 .get(0);
   if (parent) {
      var children = parent.getElementsByTagName("*");
         for (var i = 0, l = children.length; i < l; i++) {
            var childID = children[i].id;
            if (childID && childID.endsWith(id))
               return $find(childID);
            }
         }
         return null;
      }

All the best,

That worked well. I had the same issue with the findElement() call doing something similar with a check box.

This check in the client context menu click handler got around the problem though.

var element = node.get_element();
                    if ( element != null )
                    {
                        var checkBox = $telerik.findElement( element, "Property_CB" );
                        if ( checkBox != null && ( checkBox.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentElement.uniqueID == node._element.uniqueID ) )
{}

Thanks.
