RadTreeList HeaderContextMenu

[Peter]

Hi,

I have couple of questions regarding RadTreeList. I would like to have my RadTreeList with the most of the RadGrid´s functionality.

So I am curious if there´s an option to have Header Context Menu in RadTreeList.
Next, if there´s possibility to enableRowHoverStyle and AllowColumnsReorder in RadTreeList.
Finally, is there a way how to have RadToolBar as a CommandItemTemplate like in RadTreeList.

Hello Peter,

The RadGrid features you have listed are not available in RadTreeList yet. Note that RadTreeList is a constantly evolving component and you can expect many features present in RadGrid to be added to it as well. You can integrate RadContextMenu in RadTreeList and have it show on right-clicking the treelist header. This can be implemented using the RadContextMenu client-side API. Row hover style can also be implemented using the onmouseover and onmouseout events attached to treelist row elements. Column reordering is not available yet. Finally, though no command item and command item template is provided in RadTreeList, you can easily style an external panel above RadTreeList to hold custom treelist-related controls controls and options.

Thanks for your reply,
I hope that in the future releases you will consider putting this functionality to RadTreeList.

I´ve already created toolbar with add button which should insert new item to the TreeList. My EditFormType is WebUserControl. How can I call FireCommandEvent from code for InitInsert Command? I want to fire this command after click on add button in toolbar.

According to documentation:
http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/treelist-fire-command-events-from-code.html

there is no InitInsert command in RadTreeList commands.

The InitInsert command does exist, actually. The help topic just does not seem to be updated with new command events recently added to RadTreeList. Most RadGrid events are available in RadTreeList in the same form and API.

As for inserting a new item in RadTreeList from RadToolBar items, you can use RadTreeList.InsertItem() for inserting a root item, or TreeListDataItem.InsertChildItem() for inserting a child item from the specified data item. You call any of these methods from an outside event handler on clicking the toolbar item.
