[Solved] specify max number of children under a node

[chandana]

Hello, 

I am binding a treeview to an xml which looks something like this

<Tree id="treeroot">

  <Node id="1" Expanded="true" Text="Selected Fields" Checkable="false">

    <Node id="Addresses" Text="Addresses" Expanded="true" Checkable="false" allowMultipleChildren="5">

      <Node id="FieldedAddress" Text="Fielded Address" ToolTip="fielded address" Checkable="true" AllowDrop="false">

        <Node id="FieldedAddress_HouseNumber" Text="House Number" Checkable="false" AllowDrop="true"/>

        <Node id="FieldedAddress_FractionalHouseNumber" Text="Fractional House Number" Checkable="false" AllowDrop="true"/>

      </Node>

   </Node>

 </Node>

</Tree>

Is there a way to specify max number of children that can be dropped for certain nodes?

if i have an attribute called "allowmultiplechildren" whose value is 5 in the xml, is there a way that i could use that value in the onNodeDropping event?? I am trying to convert an existing xml into the format accepted by tree view. wondering if i could keep some of the xml attributes intact and use them somehow on the dropping event??

Thank you,

Chandana

Hi chandana,

Do you use the LoadContentFile method ? If yest any XML attributes that are not valid RadTreeNode properties will be mapped as custom attributes. You can then access them on the client-side:

node.get_attributes().getAttribute("AllowMultipleChildren");
