Pager extension without template?

[Gunnar]

Is there any easy way to add some additional controls on the pager without using a template and (thereby) redefine the complete pager?

Today I have a DropDown where the user can select to what depth the TreeList should be expanded. It would be very nice if I in some way could have this dropDown located on the Pager instead of outside of the TreeList control, but I don't want to redefine the complete Pager with all it's current controls, just add one extra on the existing line. I've attached a screen shot indication what I want to do.

What is the simplest way of doing this?

Hello Gunnar,

You can use the following approach to achieve the requested functionality:

protected void RadTreeList1_ItemCreated(object sender, TreeListItemCreatedEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is TreeListPagerItem)
    {
        Panel container = e.Item.FindControl("PageSizeComboBox").Parent as Panel;
        RadComboBox combo = new RadComboBox()
        {
            ID = "RadComboBox1",
            Label = "Expand to level: "
        };
        combo.DataBinding += (s, a) =>
        {
            combo.DataSource = new string[] { "One", "Two", "Three" };
        };
        container.Controls.Add(combo);
    }
}

Hope this helps. Please give it a try and let me know if it works for you.
