[Solved] Setting node.Visible = false doesn't appear to work

[David]

Hello, 

I'm trying to construct a tree view and set some nodes as Visible = false when they meet a set of requirements.  Unfortunately, when constructing the tree view data structure in my controller, the nodes are still rendered on the client.  

I'm using the bindTo method on the tree to bind the JSON result to the tree.  It doesn't appear the Visible property is even being passed to the page when looking at the Fiddler response.  

Am I doing something wrong?  Is setting a node Visible=false not supported?  

Thanks, 
Dave

Hello David,

This functionality is currently unsupported -- only the properties exposed in the TreeViewItemModel class are serialized. We have logged your request and will consider implementing it for a future release. Right now, you can work-around that by creating a custom TreeViewItem object that serializes the Visible attribute (or remove the [ScriptIgnore] in the NavigationItem code), and filtering the hidden nodes out before passing the JSON to bindTo.
