[Solved] MVC Treeview - How to Set Selected?

[rob cooney]

HI,

I'm using the MVC Telerik Treeview control, and using the OnDataBinding to load the contents from the server:

<%= Html.Telerik().TreeView()
            .Name("AjaxTreeView")
            .ClientEvents(events => events
            .OnDataBinding("onDataBinding")
            )                
            %>

function onDataBinding(e) {
           
            var path = mycontrollerpath;
            $.get(path, function(data) {
                var treeview = $('#AjaxTreeView').data('tTreeView');
                treeview.bindTo(data);              
            });                        
        } 

How do I Select the initially selected item/index?
I've tried using OnDataBound client event - but it doesnt seem to fire.

Hi Rob,
Did you ever figure out how to do this?
What I'm hoping to do is use the API to visually select a node. 

Thanks for anyone's help!

Hi mate , here is what i worked out.

 function onDataBinding(e) {
            var treeview = $('#TreeView').data('tTreeView');
            var jsonObject;
            if (e.item == treeview.element) {
                jsonObject =  <%= Model.type%>;
                treeview.bindTo(jsonObject);
                 var item = $("> ul > li > div > span.t-in", treeview.element)['0'];
                $(item).addClass("t-state-selected");
            } 
        }
