TreeList - how to remove all rows

[Dave]

Hello,

I have a TreeList which I display rows of data and child data.  I want to click a button and fire off a javascript call to completely clear the TreeList.  I have tried various things and have googled this issue but have not found a solution.  I'm surprised there is not a method for this, something like:

var treelist = $("#myTreeList").data("kendoTreeList");

treeList.Data.ClearAll(). 

Is there such a function/method?

I have the buttonClick event no problem but just need the code for deleting all the rows. Can you tell me how to do this please?

Thank you very much...

Dave

Hello Dave,

Please take a look at this Telerik Dojo which shows how to clear a datasource, which in turn clears all rows.  

The method I used was .setDataSource, and I set data to an empty array:

//Clear DataSource

$("#btnClear").click(function() {

var treelist = $("#treelist").data("kendoTreeList");

//empty datasource

var emptyDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({

  data: []

});

//setting the datasource of the treelist

treelist.setDataSource(emptyDataSource); 

});

 
Hopefully, this helps.
