How to only allow children to be selectable

[Mike]

How might I make it so only the dropdowntree's leaves are selectable; and clicking parent nodes will either do nothing or expand the nodes?

Hi,

Such behavior van be achieved if we hook to select event of the treeview and allow selection only for some for the items. Here is a sample dojo with jQuery version. In case of MVC DropDownTree the widget should be found and the event bound by using a code similar to the one below in a script tag in the view:

var dropdowntree =  $("#dropdowntree").data("kendoDropDownTree");
        var treeviewSelect = function(e){
                if(e.sender.dataItem(e.node).hasChildren){
                    e.preventDefault()
                }
              };

        dropdowntree.treeview.bind("select", treeviewSelect);

Thanks, this solves my issue, however it would be nice if there were an option in the Razor tree declaration to trigger this function in a future release
