Set Selected Node

[David]

When creating a treeview from hierarchical html, is there an attribute I can include on a <li> element to make it the selected node

Hi David:

I don't think there is a configuration setting for such, and using an outright class='.k-state-selected' doesn't work because the .kendoTreeView method builds a scaffolding of html for displaying the original hierarchical data.

Fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/yt8Mc/11/ shows how you can select and open to a original item having a 'show-me' class,

Thank-you, that worked great.

This works great when using HTML elements, but is there a solution when the data is loaded dynamically?

[Richard]

Add a property 'selected' to the dataSource.

$('#datatree').kendoTreeView({

    dataSource: [

        {

        text: "Item 1",

        selected: true,

        items: [

            {

            text: "Item 1.1"},

        {

            text: "Item 1.1",

            selected: true},

        {

            text: "Item 1.2"}

        ]},

    {

        text: "Item 2"}

    ]

});

Hope that helps
