treenode in mdi child

[John Reid]

Hi - I am sure I am not doing this right but not sure how it is done

I have an mdi parent with a rad ribbon bar on it. When I click a button on the ribbon bar it loads an child form. In the child form I have a rad treeview. But when the form loads the nodes do not show up. I can see the treeview, but the nodes do not populate

 Public Sub New()

        ' This call is required by the designer.
        InitializeComponent()
        AddNodes()

        ' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call.

    End Sub

    Private Sub AddNodes()
        Me.MdiParent = Form1
        Me.RadTreeView1.Parent = Form1
        Dim Node1 As New RadTreeNode("Node1")
        Node1.Tag = 1234
        Node1.BackColor = Color.Blue
        Dim Node2 As New RadTreeNode("Node2")
        Dim Node3 As New RadTreeNode("Node3")
        Dim Node4 As New RadTreeNode("Node4")
        RadTreeView1.Nodes.Add(Node1)
        RadTreeView1.Nodes.Add(Node2)
        Node1.Nodes.Add(Node3)
        Node2.Nodes.Add(Node4)
    End Sub

Hi John,

Please can you move your code to populate the nodes to the FormLoad event, rather than in the constructor. I believe this is an issue which I have already reported to Telerik a couple of days ago. Please let me know if this helps
regards,
Richard

Thanks Richard -

Unfortunately it did not work for me. Here is my child form load

 Private Sub Operators_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        Me.MdiParent = Form1
        Me.RadTreeView1.Parent = Form1
        Dim Node1 As New RadTreeNode("Node1")
        Node1.Tag = 1234
        Node1.BackColor = Color.Blue
        Dim Node2 As New RadTreeNode("Node2")
        Dim Node3 As New RadTreeNode("Node3")
        Dim Node4 As New RadTreeNode("Node4")
        RadTreeView1.Nodes.Add(Node1)
        RadTreeView1.Nodes.Add(Node2)
        Node1.Nodes.Add(Node3)
        Node2.Nodes.Add(Node4)
    End Sub

Hello John,

Here is an example for you. the RadRibbonForm1 is the main form, and RadForm1 is the child form.

    Protected Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
        Try
            If disposing AndAlso components IsNot Nothing Then
                components.Dispose()
            End If
        Finally
            MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
