RadTreeNode .Text vs .Value

[Xorcist]

Why do these two properties seems to conflict. I want to store an object in .Value and display a simple String in .Text, but it seems I can't do this...

The last one set always overrides the other.

Not sure if this is a bug, but doing this:

RadTreeNode type = parent.Nodes.Add("DisplayedText");
type.Value = 1;

does not work, but doing this does:

RadTreeNode type = new RadTreeNode("DisplayedTest");
type.Value = 1;
parent.Nodes.Add(type);

Why do they function differently?

Hello John,

Thank you for writing.

By default, when RadTreeView is in unbound mode, modifying the Text or the Value property of a node will automatically update the other one if the node is already added to RadTreeView. This behavior can be controlled via the EditMode property of the TreeViewElement. Please refer to the TreeView >> Editing Nodes help article >> EditMode section.

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions I would be glad to help.
