Treeview checkboxes state

[Sampada]

I am using radtree view in my application.

I have a scenario in that on one tab selection the tree should show checkboxes & on other tab It shouldn’t display the check boxes.

Which I am handling through the tree.CheckBoxes Property making it true or false I am not even binding the tree again.

But at that time trees checkboxes is losing its state.(i.e. whatever nodes I have selected become unselected when I come to previous tab)

Is there any way to maintain the state of checkboxes of tree?

Thanks in advance

Hi Sampada,

Following is the code that I tried to achieve your scenario.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadTreeView ID="tree" runat="server" onnodeclick="tree_NodeClick"  DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"  DataFieldID="id" DataFieldParentID="parent"  DataTextField="name" DataValueField="id" onnodecheck="tree_NodeCheck">
</telerik:RadTreeView>

C#:

private Hashtable CustomersChecked
    {
        get
        {
            object res = ViewState["_cc"];
            if (res == null)
            {
                res = new Hashtable();
                ViewState["_cc"] = res;
            }
            return (Hashtable)res;
        }
    }
protected void tree_NodeClick(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadTreeNodeEventArgs e)
    {
        for(int i=0;i<tree.GetAllNodes().Count;i++)
        {

            object isChecked = null;
            isChecked = CustomersChecked[tree.GetAllNodes()[i].Value];
            if (isChecked != null)
            {
                tree.GetAllNodes()[i].Checked = (bool)isChecked == true;
            }
        }
        if (tree.CheckBoxes == false)
        {
            tree.CheckBoxes = true;
        }
        else
            tree.CheckBoxes = false;
    }
protected void tree_NodeCheck(object sender, RadTreeNodeEventArgs e)
    {
        Hashtable target = CustomersChecked;
        if (e.Node.Checked == true)
        {
            target[e.Node.Value]=true;
        }
        else
            target[e.Node.Value] = true;
    }

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Thanks for the quick reply.

But this code is not working can you give me a sample code project in which on clicking of the buttons the tree is switching with checkboxes state.

on click of one button the tree removes its check boxes & on click of other button the tree appear with its check boxes with its previous state.

Hi Sampada,

Here is the sample code that I tried based on your scenario.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadTreeView ID="tree" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataFieldID="id" DataFieldParentID="parent" DataTextField="name" DataValueField="id" OnNodeCheck="tree_NodeCheck">
</telerik:RadTreeView>
<asp:Button ID="addCheckBox" runat="server" OnClick="addCheckBox_Click" />
<asp:Button ID="removeCheckBox" runat="server" OnClick="removeCheckBox_Click"  />

C#:

private Hashtable CustomersChecked
    {
        get
        {
            object res = ViewState["_cc"];
            if (res == null)
            {
                res = new Hashtable();
                ViewState["_cc"] = res;
            }
            return (Hashtable)res;
        }
    }
protected void tree_NodeCheck(object sender, RadTreeNodeEventArgs e)
    {
        Hashtable target = CustomersChecked;
        if (e.Node.Checked == true)
        {
            target[e.Node.Value]=true;
        }
        else
            target[e.Node.Value] = true;
    }
protected void addCheckBox_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < tree.GetAllNodes().Count; i++)
        {

            object isChecked = null;
            isChecked = CustomersChecked[tree.GetAllNodes()[i].Value];
            if (isChecked != null)
            {
                tree.GetAllNodes()[i].Checked = (bool)isChecked == true;
            }
        }
        if (tree.CheckBoxes == false)
        {
            tree.CheckBoxes = true;
        }
    }
protected void removeCheckBox_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < tree.GetAllNodes().Count; i++)
        {

            object isChecked = null;
            isChecked = CustomersChecked[tree.GetAllNodes()[i].Value];
            if (isChecked != null)
            {
                tree.GetAllNodes()[i].Checked = (bool)isChecked == true;
            }
        }
        if (tree.CheckBoxes == true)
        {
            tree.CheckBoxes = false;
        }
    }

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

I have tried this code but it is not working properly.

I think it is working exactly opposite which is expected also tristate=true property of the tree is not mentioned.
Even all the tree nodes are checked on pageload

Hi Sampada,

 
Another way to achieve such functionality is to save the checked state in separate field by using custom attributes and after a click of a button to associate each node with its check state. 

Hope this will be helpful.
