How can I keep the selected item selected after a collapse then expand?

@{   
    if (Session["VendorList"] != null)
    {
        List<PA.Service.AdminTools.VendorDTO> vendors = (List<PA.Service.AdminTools.VendorDTO>)Session["VendorList"];
        
        @(Html.Kendo().PanelBar()
            .Name("Vendors")
            .ExpandMode(Kendo.Mvc.UI.PanelBarExpandMode.Multiple)
            .Items(panelbar =>
            {
                panelbar.Add().Text("Vendors")
                    .Expanded(true)
                    .Enabled(true)
                    .Items(items =>
                    {
                        foreach (var vendor in vendors)
                        {
                            if (vendor.IsDefault)
                            {
                                items.Add()
                                    .Text(vendor.VendorName)
                                    .HtmlAttributes(new { onclick = "SetVendorID("+vendor.VendorID.ToString()+")" })
                                    .Selected(true);
 
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                items.Add()
                                    .Text(vendor.VendorName)
                                    .HtmlAttributes(new { onclick = "SetVendorID(" + vendor.VendorID.ToString() + ")" })
                                    .Selected(false);
                            }
                        }
                    });
            })            
        )    
    }  
 }

Hi,

A single item can be selected in the PanelBar at a time so when selecting the parent, the child selection will be lost. It is possible to restore it by using the select event to save the currently selected item and the expand event to select it.

function select(e) {
    var parent = $(e.item).closest(".k-group").closest(".k-item");
    if (parent.length) {
        parent.data("selectedChild", e.item);
    }
}
  
function expand(e) {
    var selected = $(e.item).data("selectedChild");
    if (selected) {
        this.select(selected);
    }
}
Kind regards,
Daniel

So far so good but one last thing still doesn't work. Using the code below the selection is saved a reselected on expand if you click the item but it doesn't work when the form first opens and the default selection is programmatically selected (.Selected(true)). It only works if you click on the subitem with the mouse after the view is rendered.

$(function ()     {         
var panelBar = $("#Vendors").data("kendoPanelBar").bind("select", onSelect);         
panelBar.bind("expand", onExpand);     });     

function
 onSelect(e)     {         
var
 parent = $(e.item).closest(".k-group").closest(".k-item");         
if (parent.length)         {             parent.data("selectedChild", e.item);         }     }     

function
 onExpand(e)     {         
var selected = $(e.item).data("selectedChild");         
if (selected)         {             this.select(selected);         }     }

Hello again Eric,

You should include the selected element in its parent data in order for this approach to work initially e.g.

$(function () {
    var selectedItem = $("#Vendors").find(".k-state-selected").closest(".k-item");
    var parent = selectedItem.closest(".k-group").closest(".k-item");
    parent.data("selectedChild", selectedItem);
});
