Streeview.select(selectitem);elect a node by default in a treelist

[Gers]

Is there a way to select a node by default in a Treelist ? eg :if a node has "selected" set to true in the datasource, kendo will automatically select the node.

If not, How can I select a node programmatically in a Treelist ?

I've searched on the internet , all the results that I've found are about TreeView.

I've tried the same method as in treeView, but there is not a method named "findByUid"

 

 "onSelect": function (e) {

        var selectedRows = this.select();
        var selectedDataItems = [];
        for (var i = 0; i < selectedRows.length; i++) {
            var dataItem = this.dataItem(selectedRows[i]);

            if (!dataItem.selectable)
            {
                //hack 
                //For now, a treelist doesn't allow you to prevent the selection 
                //as it is done in a treeview (e.preventdefault).So in order
                // to prevent the selection we must do a little hack using css.
                selectedRows.removeClass("k-state-selected");
            
            }

            //test
            e.sender.select(e.sender.findByUid(2));

    treeview.select(selectitem);
        }

//test
 var test1 = e.sender.select(e.sender.findByUid(2));

 e.sender.select(test1)

Hello Gers,

 

The Kendo UI TreeList does have a select method that gets or sets the table rows (or cells) which are selected.

 

Please take a look at examples below the article that shows how to select programmatically a table row. Please note that the uid value is applied to the table row element. Given this using jQuery you are able to find the table row element by the uid value (if you know that value) and pass the table row element to the select method.
