ASPxTreeView.AllowSelectNode Property

Gets or sets a value specifying whether the node selection feature is available to end-users.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web

Declaration

C#

[DefaultValue(false)]
public bool AllowSelectNode { get; set; }

VB.NET

<DefaultValue(False)>
Public Property AllowSelectNode As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	false	true if nodes can be selected; otherwise false.

Remarks

If the AllowSelectNode property is enabled, end-users can select a node by clicking on it. Note that only one node at a time can be selected within an ASPxTreeView control. The currently selected node can be obtained by using the ASPxTreeView.SelectedNode property.

 

For more information see the Selection topic.

Example

This example demonstrates how to find a node by its text on the client side.

In the example we use the GetNodeByText(text) method to search for the required node. If a node has been found, the code iterates through parent nodes to expand them using the SetExpanded(value) method. After that the found note is selected using the SetSelectedNode(node) method. Note, that the ASPxTreeView's AllowSelectNode property is set to true to allow node selection.

        nodesparent = nodesparent.parent
