if no childnodes selected (only rootnode),on page reload the rootnode loses checked status

[JX]

hi, the problem im experiencing is regarding a checkbox enabled radtreeview with options
TriStateCheckBoxes="true"
CheckChildNodes="false"

The  rootnode (if no child nodes are selected) does successfully identify (and save) the checkstatus to the database by using:
the RadTreeView1.CheckedNodes method
and when I load the tree, I do in fact load the parent node that is checked, with the checked status

the problem is that when the tree is reloaded ,whilst it does identify that the parent node has a checked status, it does not physically put a check mark next to it on the client side ,although the node.checked  instruction definitely gets executed for the specific rootnode

e.g. of problem
Fruit
   - Strawberrys
   - Apples
Vegetables
  - Cauliflower
  - Pumpkin
Other

If i only select fruit, and not strawberries or apples, (thus only selecting the Fruit checkbox), then when the tree gets saved, and reloaded, the Fruit checkbox is not ticked, even though if you loop through the RadTreeView.CheckedNodes, the Fruit node actually says it does have the checked status, even though the Fruit node does not show the checked status on the front end

the outcome of the problem is thus that the user checks a rootnode, the tree gets reloaded in the backend, and then even though the tree knows (and the properties say) that the rootnode is checked, it does not show the user that the rootnode is checked

also in the ReloadTree event i created (listed below), even if i just instruct the (root)node to be checked, in the very next line the checkstate of the node is unchecked.

Also interesting, if i check a Rootnode which does not have childnodes ("Other" in the example), there is no problem, it saves and when the tree is populated, it loads the checkbox again, so this only happens if there are child nodes


any help? I have to redo a whole system if i cant get this to work
was this perhaps fixed in newer versions of radtreeview?

 

Protected Sub ReloadCreatedRADTree(ByVal tv As RadTreeView, ByVal dt As DataTable)

        Dim message As String = ""
        Dim nodeColletion As IList = tv.GetAllNodes

        For Each node As RadTreeNode In nodeColletion
                Dim iLoopDT As Integer

            For iLoopDT = 0 To dt.Rows.Count - 1
                Dim iBranchID As Integer = dt.Rows(iLoopDT)("BranchID")
                If node.Value = iBranchID Then
                    node.Checked = True
                    If node.Level = 0 Then
                        If node.CheckState = TreeNodeCheckState.Unchecked Then
                             'even though i just instructed the node to be checked,it still has unchecked status here
                        End If
                    End If
                End If
            Next iLoopDT
        Next node
    End Sub

Hello JX,

When using the TriStateCheckBoxes, the CheckChildNodes is automatically considered true.

I think the issue being stated is when you call node.Checked on a parent node, it does not have a checkmark (checked) state in the UI.

I think this is a bug if CheckChildNodes is assumed true on TriState.

Note, if I call node.CheckChildNodes(); after calling node.Checked, then it works as we think it should.

Hello brian,

Could you, please, check using the latest version of RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX (Q1 2011)?

I am using latest.

Hello brian,

This indeed seems like a bug in RadTreeView. I am going to log it for fixing.

Until we fix it, you can use the client-side node.set_checked(bool) method which successfully checks the node and its children.

Hi Brian,

I am facing the same issue. If only root node is checked and the page is reloaded, root node gets unchecked.(But as mentioned by the original poster, in the server side, root node's checked status is true.But in the client side it doesn't display as checked)

Can you provide solution for this?


Thanks,
Ravi
