TreeView - Expanding and Collapsing Nodes

Note that changing the Expanded property in code doesn’t invoke the ASPxTreeView.ExpandedChanging and the ASPxTreeView.ExpandedChanged events.

To expand/collapse all nodes, use the following methods:

Server method Client method Describtion
ASPxTreeView.ExpandAll ASPxClientTreeView.ExpandAll Expands all nodes
ASPxTreeView.CollapseAll ASPxClientTreeView.CollapseAll Collapses all nodes
ASPxTreeView.ExpandToDepth None Expands all nodes to the specified depth

Example

The sample code below represents an ExpandedChanging event handler. The event handler prevents collapsing nodes if it has selected children in any generation.

<dx:ASPxTreeView ID="ASPxTreeView1" runat="server" DataSourceID="XmlDataSource1" AutoPostBack="True" 
    AllowSelectNode="True" OnExpandedChanging="ASPxTreeView1_ExpandedChanging" />
<asp:XmlDataSource ID="XmlDataSource1" runat="server" DataFile="~/App_Data/MenuTabbedMenu.xml"
    XPath="/mainmenu/item"></asp:XmlDataSource>
protected void ASPxTreeView1_ExpandedChanging(object source, DevExpress.Web.ASPxTreeView.TreeViewNodeCancelEventArgs e) {
    if ((e.Node.Expanded) && (ASPxTreeView1.SelectedNode != null)) {
        TreeViewNode  node = ASPxTreeView1.SelectedNode.Parent;
        while (node != null) {
            if (e.Node == node) {
                e.Cancel = true;
                break;
            }
            node = node.Parent;
        }
    }
}
