Search Nodes (clientSide)

[Mehrdad]

Hi.
I  want to search tree nodes (by name), and select the math node.
How could I do this clientSide?

Hi Mehrdad,

Once you get the client-side object of RadTreeView, you can use findNodeByText() method to get the instance of a particular Node (if want to search by name). Try the following client side code for getting the node and selecting that.

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function selectNode()
{
   var treeView = $find("<%= RadTreeView1.ClientID %>");
   var node = treeView.findNodeByText("Node1");
   node.select();
}
</script>

Thanks,

Dear Princy, two other questions please:
1. where can I find menmers (methods and properties) of a RadControl (client and server side)
2. How can I do search by matching the menu text not exact, for example if I have a node with text: "Number", by enterig "umb" it be found? (i.e. while Cards)

Hello Mehrdad,

I tried following client side code for searching and selecting node. Try the following code snippet and see whether its fit for your need.

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function searchNode()
{
    var treeView = $find("<%= RadTreeView1.ClientID %>");
    var node = treeView.findNodeByText('Root');
    search(node);    //Call function by passing the root node
}
function search(node)
{
    var i;
    var str= node.get_text();
    if(str.match("umb")!=null)  //Compare with the search term
    {
        node.select();
        return;
    }
    else
    {
        if(node._hasChildren())
        {
            for(i= 0; i<node._getChildren().get_count();i++)
            {
                search(node._children._array[i]);
            }
        }
        else
            return;
    }
}
</script>

A problem!
I have put the treeview in a usercontrol, and an object expected error occures in my code. it can't find a control with the name returned by $find(....
