Hi there,

I am new to the telerik controls and am testing the demo out at present. I would like some help if possible regarding the treeview control.

I am still undecided if i should purchase the asp.net control package or if i should just use the ones you get with asp.net ajax. These look promising though :)

Basically i would like to allow a user to select one of the nodes, which will in turn allow them to edit a page. Could someone give me some guidance on how to do this please?

It's kind of similar to how umbraco allow users to edit pages. The page will load in a separate part of the page, depending on which node has been selected.

Hope i have explained it ok lol :)

Regards,

Alan

Hi Alan,

One suggestion is by using iframe to show the page and load the corresponding page in ' OnClientNodeClicked ' event of RadTreeView. Here is the example that I tried.

aspx:

    
                <telerik:RadTreeView ID="RadTreeView1" runat="server" OnClientNodeClicked="OnClientNodeClicked"> 
        
                    <Nodes> 
        
                     . . . 
        
                    </Nodes> 
        
                </telerik:RadTreeView> 
        
                <iframe id="iframe1" height="400px" width="400px"> 
        
                </iframe>

javascript:

    
            <script type="text/javascript"> 
        
            function OnClientNodeClicked(sender, args) 
        
            { 
        
                var selected = args.get_node().get_value(); // Get the clicked node value 
        
                var if1 = document.getElementById("iframe1"); 
        
                if1.src = selected + ".aspx"; // set the url for iframe 
        
            } 
        
            </script>

Thanks,
Shinu.

Thanks for your response.

I am actually trying to stay away from iframes. I would like to basically use the treeview as the layout of the site as i am writing a CMS. When a user click on the node it would then go off and load the edit page, and allow the user to edit the content.

I have seen this done on a number of other CMS's and on some other controls similar to RadControls. Just wondering if its possible or not
