Remarks

Tip

Topic: Expand and Collapse Nodes

The TreeListView in hierarchical binding mode fetches child nodes of sub-level nodes when you expand their parent node.

If the FetchSublevelChildrenOnExpand property is false, all the child nodes display expand buttons (even if they do not have children) after you expand their parent node. The expand button is hidden when you expand a sub-level node that does not contain child nodes:

HasChildNodesPath Property

Use the TreeListView.HasChildNodesPath property to make a node display an expand button only if this node has children:

EnableDynamicLoading Property

The TreeListView in hierarchical binding mode creates child nodes dynamically when you expand their parent node.

Set the TreeListView.EnableDynamicLoading property to false to create all nodes at once when the tree is loading.

Note

If the TreeListView.EnableDynamicLoading is false, the TreeListView fetches child nodes of sub-level nodes despite the FetchSublevelChildrenOnExpand property.
