Hi Telerik

I'm trying to get at node i a treeview to behave as normal, but the user must not be able to change the nodes checked state.
Is it posible to make a node "ReadOnly" but behave as normal?

I've made a small test project to show that i'm looking for.

Hope you understand my problem.

Hi Jakob,

Thank you for contacting us.

One possible solution to make a node which does not change its checked or unchecked state is to subscribe on OnClientNodeChecked and OnClientNodeChecking events and persist the previous state of the node whenever one of these events is fired. Though this will cause a little inconvenience using tri-state property of the treeview , because the parent node won't be able to be set in unchecked state since one of its child node will always be checked.
I'm sending an example project demonstrating what you might use as an approach for your needs.
I hope this will help.

All the best,
Dimitar Terziev
