TreeView - checkBy bind to dataItem

[Santo]

Hi,

Is it possible to bind to the dataItem itself and get that returned to our checkedKeys variable?

 

Best Regards,

Santo.

Hi Santo,

Yes, absolutely. You can define a specific `checkBy` function that will return the item itself as checked key.

Here is the concrete example using a custom checkBy callback:

If you need even more fine-grain control over the check functionality then you can always define a custom CheckDirective where the `isChecked` and `checkedChange` properties are defined accordingly. A complete custom implementation can be found in our documentation:

when I am using [checkBy], parent checkbox not checked when I am checked in child item.

In handleChekcing(event)- It returned object which is ok as per my requirement,

but when i remove the [checkBy], parent checkbox checked when i am checked in child item but handleChecking() method returned the array of indexes, while I require objects.  Any help would be appriciated.

Hi Braj,

If an item field or a callback function has been used, the indeterminate state will not be displayed. For more details please check the following article:
