Unable to catch node expansion after creating its first child and expanding in client side code

[Mallverkstan]

Hi again,

it appears that the ClientNodeExpanding event is not fired when a node that has no children gets a child, and is then expanded with node.expand(). It also doesn't fire with node.set_expanded(true). Here is a sample code:

var retvals = retval.split("|"); /* retval is a string such as :

"10879|Produktgrupp «Ny produktgrupp»|PRODUKTGRUPP|/Icons/TreeView/ImageCreate.aspx?nodetype=PRODUKTGRUPP&alias=False&icontype=normal|/Icons/TreeView/ImageCreate.aspx?nodetype=PRODUKTGRUPP&alias=False&icontype=expanded|Ny produktgrupp" */

var node_id = retvals[0];

var tooltip = retvals[1];

var category = retvals[2];

var imageurl = retvals[3];

var expimageurl = retvals[4];

var nodename = retvals[5];

var node = new Telerik.Web.UI.RadTreeNode();

node.set_text(nodename.replace(/</g,"&lt;").replace(/>/g, "&gt;"));

node.set_target("content");

node.set_value(node_id);

var navurl = "content.aspx?id_catalogue=1&data_id_node="+node_id+"&id_category="+category+"&tree_id_node="+node_id;

node.set_navigateUrl(navurl);

node.set_imageUrl(imageurl);

node.set_expandedImageUrl(expimageurl);

node.set_contextMenuID(category);

node.set_category(category);

// g_parent_node is a global variable with the parent node

g_parent_node.get_nodes().insert(0, node);

node.get_textElement().title = tooltip;

if (!g_parent_node.get_expanded()) {

g_parent_node.expand(); /* If g_parent_node had no childnodes before I added one in the code above, this expansion can not be caught!! Nither ClientNodeExpanding nor ClientNodeExpanded is fired. But g_parent_node is actually expanded! */

}

If I do g_parent_node.set_expandMode(Telerik.Web.UI.TreeNodeExpandMode.ServerSideCallBack) before expanding, the ClientNodePopulated event is fired, but that is not what I want.

Hello Mallverkstan,

Thank you Veselin.

You could have added that information to http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/tree_clientonclientnodeexpanding.html, http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/tree_clientonclientnodeexpanded.html and http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/tree_clientradtreenode.html (on expand() and set_expand()).



Anyways, I have modified the last part of my code to be like this:

       if (!g_parent_node.get_expanded()) {
            if (g_parent_node.get_expandMode() == 0) {
                setTimeout(function() { node.highlight(); node.startEdit(); }, 300);
            }
            else
           {
                g_save_node.expand();
            }
        }

This works. However, I would prefer to have something like the ClientNodePopulated event that is fired after all nodes have been completely loaded, without the need for a timer function.

Hello Mallverkstan,

We have updated the help articles as per your suggestion. We updated your Telerik Points for that as well.

As for the other question - have you tried using the OnClientLoad event of the treeview?

Hi Veselin,

thanks for the suggestion;
I have never used the OnClientLoad event, assuming it only fired once per page load?
