How would I implement a treeview where a user could only select nodes at the tip of the tree (i.e. "leaves")?  I've tried "rtn.Enabled = false;", "rtn.PostBack = false;" (since I embedded the RadTreeView in a RadComboBox control), and "rtn.Checkable = false;" for the RadTreeNode, all which provide part of the functionality I need, but either provide too much ("Enabled = false" makes it so I can't select the node, but then I can't expand the node, either), or not enough ("Checkable = false" doesn't apply when I haven't added checkboxes).  Did I miss a setting for this?

I also searched in case the RadTreeView control had a setting, but couldn't find one.

Hello Jay,

What you need to do is subscribe to the OnClientNodeClicking event of the treeview and cancel it if the clicked node has children (if (node.get_nodes().get_count() > 0)

I hope this helps.

Thanks, that does help.

But to work alongside that, how do I prevent the RadComboBox from closing when I select that invalid entry?  Do I need to overwrite the RadComboBox's OnClientDropDownClosing handler or do I have another option?

Hello Jay,

You need to wrap the treeview in a div and cancel bubbling when clicking in the div. You can check our online example for the implementation.
