Event log

RadTreeView introduces several server-side events for working with nodes:

  • NodeClick occurs when the user clicks one of the tree nodes
  • NodeDrop occurs when a node is dragged and dropped
  • NodeCheck  occurs when the user checks or un-checks a node checkbox
  • NodeDataBound occurs when a node is bound to data
  • NodeEdit occurs when the user clicks twice on the node or presses F2 to cause a node to be edited
  • NodeExpand occurs when node is expanded to display child nodes
  • NodeCollapse occurs when a node is collapsed to hide child nodes
  • NodeCreated occurs when a node is first created
  • ContextMenuItemClick occurs when a context menu item is clicked

This example shows how the NodeClick, NodeExpand and NodeCollapse events can be wired up.

As soon as the NodeClick event is wired, a postback will appear. You can disable the postback for a node by setting its PostBack property to false.

Please review the source code of this example for additional details.

  1. Click a tree node to trigger the NodeClick event
  2. Expand a tree node to trigger the NodeExpand event
  3. Collapse a tree node to trigger the NodeCollapse event
