Problem with dynamically creating a treeview item

[Angeli]

Hi Telerik!

How can I add a new rad treeview item in a selected container. I'm having problems with this code here:

private void AddItem(RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    RadTreeView treeViewItem = (RadTreeView)e.OriginalSource;

    if (treeViewItem.SelectedContainer == null)
    {
        treeViewItem.SelectedContainer.Items.Add(new RadTreeViewItem()
        {
            Header = "New Section", IsInEditMode = true
        });

        return;
    }

    treeViewItem.SelectedContainer.Items.Add(new RadTreeViewItem()
    {
        Header = "New Section", IsInEditMode = true
    });

    treeViewItem.SelectedContainer.IsExpanded = true;

}

It runs but nothing happens.

Basically, I'm trying to create a tree view dynamically.

Hi Angeli,

I am not sure I understand this part of the code you sent:

if (treeViewItem.SelectedContainer == null)

{

    treeViewItem.SelectedContainer.Items.Add(new RadTreeViewItem()

    {

        Header = "New Section", IsInEditMode = true

    });

                  

    return;

}

You check that the SelectedContainer is null and then you try to add items to its Items collection. Am I missing something here?

However, I believe that in your case it would be best to take advantage of the LoadOnDemand feature of the RadTreeView control. You can find more info about it here or you can test its demo here.
