Unselectable Nodes.

[Stuart Hemming]

Is it possible to have a node, that has child nodes that is both unselectable and expandable?

I'm using a node as a container on a treeview for a number of similar items.

It makes no sense, in the context of the software, to select the containing node but the user obviously has to be able to expand it to get at the child nodes.

Ideally, the system wouldn't react to a click on such a node and the visual appearance of it wouldn't change.

Is such a scenario possible with RadTreeView?

Hi Stuart,

Try attaching OnClientNodeClicking event to RadTreeView and check for the node text which clicked and cancel the event accordingly using args.set_cancel(true) method.

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientNodeClicking(sender, args) {
        if (args.get_node().get_text() == "Softwares") {
            args.set_cancel(true);
        }
    }
</script>

Hmm. Good idea; I'll give that a go.

Thank you Shinu, exactly what i was looking for.

That works a treat.

What others may notice, however, is that the highlighing of the node still occurs on mouseover.

For nodes that I don't want to allow selection on, I set the CssClass to NoNodeSelect which is defined as

.NoNodeSelect
{
    color: #000 !important;
    border-color: white !important;
    background: none !important;
}

Of course, YMMV.
