TreeList View Overview
- 2 minutes to read
The TreeListView is designed to display information in a TREE - in either a data bound or an unbound mode. Data is arranged in columns and nodes (rows). Grid columns correspond to data fields in a data source, nodes represent data records.
#TreeList View Specific Features
Along with the standard data-aware and presentation features such as data editing, sorting, filtering, summary calculation, built-in validation, unbound columns, runtime column customization and so on, its specific features include:
Hierarchical Data Presentation
The information is displayed in a TREE from hierarchical data structures.
-
A tree can be created on demand. Child nodes are dynamically created and initialized when their parent node is expanded.
-
You can manually create a TREE in XAML or code. Nodes can be represented by objects of different types. The only requirement is that these data objects should have common fields (columns).
-
To simplify managing hierarchical data (without writing additional recursive code), the DXTreeList for Silverlight ships with an easy to use API, so you can sequentially visit nodes starting from a specified node down to the last node.
