Selecting a parent node in client side which is also a root node

[Preetam Ray]

Hi,
The treeview sctructure I am using in my project is like given below

Node1
    childnode11
    childnode12
Node2
    childnode21
     childnode22

all the nodes have check boxes. My requirement is when ever the child node is checked I have to check (select) the parent node also in client side.but when i check the "childnode11" the function node.get_parent()  returns me an instance of  the treeview as "Node1" is the root node. so when i try to set something like node.get_parent().check() it gives me a java script error saying "check is not a function"
Can you please let me know how to find an instance of parent node which is also a root node and select/unslect it using the client side functions.

Thanks!

Hi Preetam,

Try the following code snippet to achieve the desired scenario.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadTreeView ID="RadTreeView1"   OnClientNodeChecking="OnClientNodeChecking"      runat="server" CheckBoxes="True" >

JS:

 <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" >

    function OnClientNodeChecking(sender, eventArgs)
    {
     var node = eventArgs.get_node();
      node.get_parent().set_checked(true);

    }
 </script>

Thanks
Shinu.

Thanks! Shinu

But this does not solve my problem completely.  node.get_parent() returns the instance of treeview if the parent node is also a root node .
How do I determine whether the instance returned is treeview or just a node. 
Depending on whether its a root node or intermediate node I have to implement different logic.

Hi Preetam,

You can try the following JS code to determine whether the clicked node is is a root node or not.

JS:

 function OnClientNodeChecking(sender, eventArgs)
    {
     var node = eventArgs.get_node();
       if(node.get_parent() != node.get_treeView())
         {
           node.get_parent().set_checked(true);
         }

    }

Thanks
Shinu.
