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.
