TreeView Expand Programmatically Fails to Show any nodes

[Eric Caslake]

I have a TreeView that has ExpandMode set to WebService and I would like to expand a node programmatically. I have even tried to emulate this is some client side code and I can see the web service call being made and returning data. However, the node does not expand as desired.

            String.prototype.endsWith = function(str){return (this.match(str+"$")==str)}

            function nodeChecked(sender, eventArgs) {
                var node = eventArgs.get_node();
                var parent = node.get_parent();
                var grand_parent = parent.get_parent();


                var parent_value = parent.get_value();
                var parent_value_other = "";

                if (parent_value.endsWith("cc")) {
                    parent_value_other = parent_value.substring(0, parent_value.length - 2)

                    var tree = $find("<%= RadTreeView1.ClientID %>");
                    var other_node = tree.findNodeByValue(parent_value_other);

                    if (other_node.get_expanded() == false) {
                        other_node.expand();
                    }


                    var other_node_array = other_node.get_nodes();
                    for (var i = 0; i < other_node_array.get_count(); i++) {
                        var _node = other_node_array.getNode(i);
                        if (_node.get_text() == node.get_text()) {
                            _node.check();
                            break;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }

No matter what happens, the following line always shows the number of items in the list as 0.

var other_node_array = other_node.get_nodes();

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Is there something I can try to make this work client side?

Hi Eric Caslake,

You need to move this code:

var other_node_array = other_node.get_nodes();
                    for (var i = 0; i < other_node_array.get_count(); i++) {
                        var _node = other_node_array.getNode(i);
                        if (_node.get_text() == node.get_text()) {
                            _node.check();
                            break;
                        }
                    }

to the handler of the OnClientNodePopulated event. This will ensure that the child nodes are already added.
