Hi Kendo team

A tiny issue. I have enabled row-selection in my treelist. Unfortunately If I expand a row, it gets selected. You can try it yourself on the ‘Basic usage’ example of TREELIST. Add this in the code: selectable: "row".

Perhaps its intended, but when I try the same with the ‘Hierarchy’ demo of GRID, the rows are not automatically selected when they are expanded. I think that’s the best design.

And one last wish – I almost promise: a Select event :o)

Thank you so much for this UI!

Hello Kenneth,

Do you mean that clicking over the expand/collapse button should not cause selection? Is this what you think is more appropriate behavior?

There is a change event which is triggered on selecting item - same as in the Grid widget.

Hello Nikolay
Yes thats what I was thinking. When I expand in your TREEVIEW, the item that gets expanded, are not selected. When browsing folders and files in Windows explorer, the expanded folder doesn’t get selected either - and as in your hierarchy grid
I have been using my own developed treelist until you came out with this nice UI. My page renders some graphs and statistics when the user selects a row. The user should not get presented for new statistics each time he expands a row – only when he select a row. The same procedure as in Windows explorer: when a user expands a folder – he is not necessarily interested in the content of the expanded folder – it could just be one out of multiple steps before the user selects the folder and then wants to see the files.
I have made some code that handles this for me now, so I will manage without a change from you guys in the design, but the code looks a bit like a workaround from my perspective. By the way – when I still developed in WPF, I used the treelist from Telerik in one of my applications – it has the same selection design as Windows explorer.

As for the change event you are right – I am using the change event now but it gets called each time a row gets expanded, collapsed or selected – I have made a way to handle this to – so this is also just feedback on your new and nice UI. As you mention, there are only a change event in the grid and that is enough, but you have a select event in TREEVIEW where a change more commonly could be multiple things.

So – I can get along without any changes from your side. With this post I have given you a feedback from a customer’s perspective and perhaps you can use it :o)

Kind regards from Kenneth
