Treeview in Combobox + Sharepoint Mode

[VIvek]

hello,

I want to use Silverlight Combobox (with treeview inside it) in MOSS. Can you please let me know the steps for this process?

Thanks
Vivek

Hi VIvek,

The integration between Silverlight and MOSS is an interesting question. I've performed a quick search on the topic and found some good articles/tutorials and discussion you might be interested checking out:

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks for replying. But, do you have any sample where i can add Treeview inside Combobox (for Silverlight control of yours). I know how to do this for RAD AJAX control kit, but no sample for silverlight.

Thanks
Vivek

Hi VIvek,

Yes you can - just add the TreeView as a child of the ComboBox. Nothing special. See the code below:

<ComboBox Margin="20">
                <telerikNavigation:RadTreeView SelectionMode="Multiple"
                        IsEditable="True" IsOptionElementsEnabled="True">

                        <telerikNavigation:RadTreeViewItem Header="Item1.1" />
                        <telerikNavigation:RadTreeViewItem Header="Item1.2" />
                        <telerikNavigation:RadTreeViewItem Header="Item1.3" />

                    <telerikNavigation:RadTreeViewItem Header="Item2">
                        <telerikNavigation:RadTreeViewItem Header="Item2.1" />
                        <telerikNavigation:RadTreeViewItem Header="Item2.2" />
                        <telerikNavigation:RadTreeViewItem Header="Item2.3" />
                    </telerikNavigation:RadTreeViewItem>
                </telerikNavigation:RadTreeView>
                </ComboBox>

Thank you for replying. I've two more questions (for now)
1. Treeview is coming nicely inside combobox. But, i'm not able to click/expand child items. whenever i do that, the combobox closes and shows all items list in combobox.
2. Is there a way to bind XML to tree rather than adding individual nodes. I've done that with your AJAX treeview. It has a method to load tree from xml.


I'm writing a POC based on your controls for MOSS 2007.

Thanks
Vivek

Hi VIvek,

Yes - we have this issue with RadComboBox right now. That's why I send you the sample code with the Microsoft Combo. We will address this issue within the official release which is coming next week.

Thanks for the feedback - let us know if you need any other help with the MOSS integration.
