TreeView.select(node) does not trigger select event

[Mark]

When I programmatically select a node using the select(node) method, the select event handler (applied when the TreeView was created) does not get called.

I am not sure if Telerik will consider this a bug... I do...  But if you want to work around it, first do the select so that the kendo tree can update its internals and then call trigger so that the callback get invoked.

Please refer to the jsfiddle that illustrates the workaround.

Play around with commenting out the select call and the trigger call to see what they do to kendoui treeview.

Hello guys,

Actually that is the behaviour expected by design.
The client API is not supposed to trigger the events, but I see that Miguel already provided an example that illustrates a workaround for this.

Kind regards,

@Miguel Thanks, that workaround worked perfectly. Might do some monkey-patching, create a selectWithEvent method.

@Alexander Maybe there could be an argument to select to tell it whether to trigger the event or not?

I think keeping the event and the select call as two separate things is completely fine.

The reason I expressed this to be a bug is because there is no documentation on having to make both calls, and whatever exists suggests that only calling 'select' is sufficient.  Maybe a revision to the doc could save lives. :-)

Glad it worked guys!
