nesting treeView programatically

[Aarsh]

right now I have following setup



and the code behind is :

RadTreeNode category1 = new RadTreeNode("Group1", "Group1");
  RadTreeNode Category1Nodes;
  RadTreeNodeCollection radCollection = new RadTreeNodeCollection(category1);
  for (int i = 10 - 1; i >= 0; i--)
  {
      Category1Nodes = new RadTreeNode(i.ToString(), i.ToString());
      category1.Nodes.Add(Category1Nodes);
  }
  RadTreeView1.Nodes.Add(category1);


  RadTreeNode category2 = new RadTreeNode("Group2", "Group2");
  RadTreeNode Category2Nodes;
  radCollection = new RadTreeNodeCollection(category2);
  for (int i = 5 - 1; i >= 0; i--)
  {
      Category2Nodes = new RadTreeNode(i.ToString(), i.ToString());
      category2.Nodes.Add(Category2Nodes);
  }
  RadTreeView1.Nodes.Add(category2);

now, I want to add Category3, but I am wondering if I can attach a treeView to that

Thanks,

Hi Aarsh,

I suppose  you want to add a RadTreeNode named category3 and to add a RadTreeView to category3. You can add the NodeTemplate dynamically to achieve this scenario.

C#:

RadTreeNode category3 = new RadTreeNode();
protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
 {
   category3.NodeTemplate = new TreeviewTemplate();
   base.OnInit(e);
 }
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
   RadTreeNode category1 = new RadTreeNode("Group1", "Group1");
   RadTreeNode Category1Nodes;
   RadTreeNodeCollection radCollection = new RadTreeNodeCollection(category1);
   for (int i = 10 - 1; i >= 0; i--)
    {
      Category1Nodes = new RadTreeNode(i.ToString(), i.ToString());
      category1.Nodes.Add(Category1Nodes);
    }
   RadTreeView1.Nodes.Add(category1);
   RadTreeNode category2 = new RadTreeNode("Group2", "Group2");
   RadTreeNode Category2Nodes;
   radCollection = new RadTreeNodeCollection(category2);
   for (int i = 5 - 1; i >= 0; i--)
    {
      Category2Nodes = new RadTreeNode(i.ToString(), i.ToString());
      category2.Nodes.Add(Category2Nodes);
    }
   RadTreeView1.Nodes.Add(category2);
   RadTreeView1.Nodes.Add(category3);
 }

//For creating NodeTemplate

class TreeviewTemplate : ITemplate
 {
   public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
    {
      RadTreeView RadTreeView2 = new RadTreeView();
      RadTreeView2.ID = "RadTreeView2";
      RadTreeNode node1 = new RadTreeNode();
      node1.Text = "node1";
      RadTreeView2.Nodes.Add(node1);
      RadTreeNode node2 = new RadTreeNode();
      node2.Text = "node2";
      RadTreeView2.Nodes.Add(node2);
      container.Controls.Add(RadTreeView2);
    }
 }

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Princy.

Awesome, that works :-)

RadTreeNode category3 = new RadTreeNode();
    protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
    {
        category3.NodeTemplate = new TreeViewTemplate();
    }

public class TreeViewTemplate : ITemplate
{
    public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
    {
        RadTreeView addRadTree = new RadTreeView();
        addRadTree.ID = "ProceedingTreeView";

        RadTreeNode SubHead = new RadTreeNode("AppendedTree", "AppendedTree");
        RadTreeNodeCollection nodesCollection = new RadTreeNodeCollection(SubHead);

        RadTreeNode node1 = new RadTreeNode("Node 1", "Node 1");
        SubHead.Nodes.Add(node1);

        RadTreeNode node2 = new RadTreeNode("Node 2", "Node 2");
        SubHead.Nodes.Add(node2);

        addRadTree.Nodes.Add(SubHead);
        addRadTree.DataBind();

        container.Controls.Add(addRadTree);

    }
}

and in the main method, the treeview is being added in the following way ..

RadTreeView1.Nodes.Add(category3);

Now...

How can I add attributes to the "Appended Tree" tree ? I mean, I'd love to have following attributes in that tree :

1. Each node should be having an asp:ImageButton and NodeText. and we can assign  distinct links to imageButton as well, as the text.
2. Most importantly, the links should be assigned dynamically, [ as it would come from the data-layer, as per user's query hence, ] I want to get it assigned from within C#.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Aarsh,

I suppose you want to add ImageButton and LinkButton to the addRadTree template. Here is the sample code.

C#:

RadTreeNode node = (RadTreeNode)RadTreeView1.FindNodeByText("category3");
RadTreeView addRadTree = (RadTreeView)node.FindControl("ProceedingTreeView");
RadTreeNode SubHead = addRadTree.FindNodeByText("AppendedTree");
ImageButton btn = (ImageButton)SubHead.FindControl("btn");
LinkButton lnkbtn = (LinkButton)SubHead.FindControl("lnkbtn");
btn.PostBackUrl = "Your link";
lnkbtn.PostBackUrl = "Your link";
RadTreeNode Node1 = addRadTree.FindNodeByText("Node 1");
ImageButton btn1 = (ImageButton)Node1.FindControl("btn");
LinkButton lnkbtn1 = (LinkButton)Node1.FindControl("lnkbtn");
btn1.PostBackUrl = "Your link";
lnkbtn1.PostBackUrl = "Your link";
RadTreeNode Node2 = addRadTree.FindNodeByText("Node 2");
ImageButton btn2 = (ImageButton)Node2.FindControl("btn");
LinkButton lnkbtn2 = (LinkButton)Node2.FindControl("lnkbtn");
btn2.PostBackUrl = "Your link";
lnkbtn2.PostBackUrl = "Your link";

class TreeviewTemplate : ITemplate
{
    public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
    {
      RadTreeView addRadTree = new RadTreeView();
        addRadTree.ID = "ProceedingTreeView";
        RadTreeNode SubHead = new RadTreeNode("AppendedTree", "AppendedTree");
        RadTreeNodeCollection nodesCollection = new RadTreeNodeCollection(SubHead);
        RadTreeNode node1 = new RadTreeNode("Node 1", "Node 1");
        SubHead.Nodes.Add(node1);
        RadTreeNode node2 = new RadTreeNode("Node 2", "Node 2");
        SubHead.Nodes.Add(node2);
        addRadTree.Nodes.Add(SubHead);
        Button template = new Button();
        template.InstantiateIn(SubHead);
        template.InstantiateIn(node1);
        template.InstantiateIn(node2);
        addRadTree.DataBind();
        container.Controls.Add(addRadTree);
    }
}

//NodeTemplate for addRadTree

class Button : ITemplate
{
    public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
    {
        ImageButton btn = new ImageButton();
        btn.ID = "btn";
        btn.ImageUrl = "~/Images/bullet5.jpg";
        container.Controls.Add(btn);
        LinkButton lnkbtn = new LinkButton();
        lnkbtn.ID = "lnkbtn";
        lnkbtn.Text = "Node";
        container.Controls.Add(lnkbtn);
    }
}

Hope this helps.
