MVCxTreeListSettingsEditing.AddNewNodeRouteValues Property

Defines the callback routing logic by specifying the names of a Controller and an Action which should handle callbacks related to adding a new row.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web.Mvc

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.Mvc5.v24.2.dll

Declaration

C#

public object AddNewNodeRouteValues { get; set; }

VB.NET

Public Property AddNewNodeRouteValues As Object

Property Value

Type	Description
Object	An object containing the Controller and Action names.

Property Paths

You can access this nested property as listed below:

Object Type	Path to AddNewNodeRouteValues
MVCxTreeList	.SettingsEditing .AddNewNodeRouteValues
TreeListSettings	.SettingsEditing .AddNewNodeRouteValues

Remarks

If row insertion is allowed for a TreeList, you should provide an associated controller action that will apply insert operations to a Model and return the treelist’s partial view. Use the AddNewNodeRouteValues property to reference this controller action by its name and the name of its controller.

Note that in an action that handles delete operations, you can obtain the key value of the deleted row.

The code sample below demonstrates how to define route values in order to enable editing operations within the TreeList.

Razor (View)

@{
    var treeList = Html.DevExpress().TreeList(
        settings => {
            settings.Name = "treeList";
            settings.CallbackRouteValues = new { Controller = "TreeList", Action = "InlineEditingPartial" };

            settings.Columns.Add("From");
            ...
            settings.CommandColumn.Visible = true;
            settings.CommandColumn.ShowNewButtonInHeader = true;
            settings.CommandColumn.NewButton.Visible = true;
            settings.CommandColumn.DeleteButton.Visible = true;
            settings.CommandColumn.EditButton.Visible = true;

            settings.SettingsEditing.AddNewNodeRouteValues = new { Controller = "TreeList", Action = "InlineEditingAddNewPostPartial" };
            settings.SettingsEditing.UpdateNodeRouteValues = new { Controller = "TreeList", Action = "InlineEditingUpdatePostPartial" };
            settings.SettingsEditing.NodeDragDropRouteValues = new { Controller = "TreeList", Action = "InlineEditingMovePostPartial" };
            settings.SettingsEditing.DeleteNodeRouteValues = new { Controller = "TreeList", Action = "InlineEditingDeletePostPartial" };
            settings.SettingsEditing.ConfirmDelete = true;
            ...
            };
        }
    );
    if(ViewData["EditNodeError"] != null) {
        treeList.SetEditErrorText((string)ViewData["EditNodeError"]);
    }
}
