OnClientNodePopulating

The OnClientNodePopulating client-side event occurs just before child nodes are loaded on-demand. The ExpandMode property of the parent node should be ServerSideCallback or WebService for this event to fire. The event can be canceled.

The event handler receives parameters:

  1. The TreeView instance that fired the event.

  2. Event arguments with functions:

  • get_node() retrieves a reference to the clicked on node.

  • get_context() retrieves an object that is automatically passed to a load-on-demand web service.

  • set_cancel() - call this function to specify whether the event should be canceled (true) or not (false).

  • get_domEvent() retrieves a DOM event object of the node population.

The example below shows how to prevent populating a "Network Locations" node. Note that the OnClientNodePopulated event does not fire when set_cancel() is called. See the Webservice Load-On-Demand topic for another example.

ASPNET
<telerik:RadTreeView RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadTreeView1" runat="server" OnClientNodePopulated="ClientNodePopulated"
    OnClientNodePopulating="ClientNodePopulating" OnNodeExpand="RadTreeView1_NodeExpand">
    <Nodes>
        <telerik:RadTreeNode runat="server" ExpandMode="ClientSide" Text="Search" ImageUrl="~/images/search.ico"
            Expanded="True" Value="1">
            <Nodes>
                <telerik:RadTreeNode runat="server" ExpandMode="ServerSideCallBack" Text="Recent Searches">
                </telerik:RadTreeNode>
                <telerik:RadTreeNode runat="server" ExpandMode="ServerSideCallBack" Text="Network Locations">
                </telerik:RadTreeNode>
            </Nodes>
        </telerik:RadTreeNode>
    </Nodes>
</telerik:RadTreeView>

The server NodeExpand event handler for the RadTreeView defined above:

C#
protected void RadTreeView1_NodeExpand(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadTreeNodeEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Node.Text == "Recent Searches")
    {
        for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
        {
            e.Node.Nodes.Add(new Telerik.Web.UI.RadTreeNode("Search " + i.ToString()));
        }
        e.Node.ExpandMode = Telerik.Web.UI.TreeNodeExpandMode.ClientSide;
    }
    if (e.Node.Text == "Network Locations")
    {
        for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
        {
            e.Node.Nodes.Add(new Telerik.Web.UI.RadTreeNode("Location " + i.ToString()));
        }
        e.Node.ExpandMode = Telerik.Web.UI.TreeNodeExpandMode.ClientSide;
    }
}
