Treeview page navigation

[Darryl]

Kendo docs is a nice looking site ... http://docs.kendoui.com/getting-started/changes-and-backward-compatibility

I thought now if I can just make my Kendo Web UI site work like this I'll get a pay rise for sure!

Seems though that each treenode selection triggers a postback and so the entire page is returned along with lots of ugly viewstate.

So now I'm thinking .... how can I use the Kendo UI treeview like this as a page navigator and have it's state persist across postbacks? Do I need to have my "content" page in a frame?

Hello,

You could use a cookie to save the selected nodes and then set the nodes' expanded option to restore it through the configuration. Here is a small jsBin sample.

That's a neat trick.

Thanks.

Hello,

after the page containing the tree view is refreshed, the state isn’t remembered so the tree view is collapsed totally. We have the requirement that the state is unchanged on a refresh or navigation operation on the browser.

So our question: Is it possible to store the state in any way (cookies etc.) to restore it on a page load?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Stephan,

I posted a sample project using Kendo MVC in the other forum thread on the same topic. If you need a solution with Kendo UI Web, I can suggest to check the jsBin example from my previous reply in this thread.

I was looking at that jsBin sample.  Is there something similar for someone using mvc 5 / razor?

thanks
