I have a 2-level TreeView, and on the children (second level), there is a button in the entry.  That is, each child shows some text, and a button.  When the button is clicked, and an event is generated, how to get the TreeView element that was clicked?  Btw, it will not necessarily be the SelectedItem, because the button may be clicked on a different item.

Here is a specific example.  The TreeView contains Orders, and Parts within Orders.  The top level of the tree will be the Orders, and under each order will be a list of parts in the tree.  Each Part item will have an 'Edit' button.  When the Edit button is clicked, how to determine the specific TreeView item that contained the edit button so that particular item can be edited?

Hi GEB,

If the Edit button is part of the ItemTemplate for the RadTreeViewItem, you can use the UIElementExtension class method ParentOfType() to get the corresponding TreeViewItem.

I prepared a sample project illustrating this approach. Please give ti a try and let me know if this is what you had in mind.

All the best,

When node is expanded using the expasion icon the expanded node is not returned in param in

private

 

 

void LoadOnDemandCommand(string param)

 


Instead the node currently selected is returned (not the expanded node). Thus the result is a bunch of spinning circles.
I interpret this as that a node is not set to the current item when expanded.
 
How is this achieved when using the MVVM pattern. I have had to include an expand event method which sets the expanded node to the SelectedItem.

Hello Niels,

As I said in the bug report you sent I am not sure that I understand your issue. It seems that you need to bind the LoadOnDemand command to a Command defined in a ViewModel.

In order to do so you can take advantage of the MVVMLight framework and the EventToCommand behavior in order to pass the LoadOnDemand event args to the ViewModel command thus accessing the RadTreeViewItem that raised the command.

I will attach the sample project here as well since the community might find it useful. Still, let me know if I am missing something.
