Is there a way to cause a node selection to check the box?

[Robert]

I would like for our users to be able to click on the text of the node and cause the box to be checked.  Is this possible?  If not, is there a way to prevent the selected node from changing colors to avoid a scenario where users believe they have 'checked' the node?

Thanks!

Hello Robert,

Try the following code snippet to achieve your scenario.
C#:

function OnClientNodeClicking(sender, args)
   {
       args.get_node().check(true);
   }

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi Shinu,

Thank you for your reply!  Can you tell me if this will result in a client-side modification or will it require a postback to be effective?  If the latter, would it be possible for us to just eliminate the node selection option entirely (we're just trying to avoid a postback)?

Thank you for your help.

Bob

Hi Robert,

I tested the code and didn't observe postback since it is done on the client event this behavior is expected.

Hope this will help.
