Assembly: DevExpress.XtraTreeList.v24.2.dll

NuGet Packages: DevExpress.Win.Navigation, DevExpress.Win.TreeList

#Declaration

public virtual void ForceInitialize()

#Remarks

You must call the ForceInitialize method before changing a TreeList’s options when a form is being loaded. After the Tree List has been initialized, you can manipulate its settings safely. For instance, you should call the ForceInitialize method before:

  • applying data sorting;
  • changing summary settings;
  • expanding and collapsing nodes;
  • creating columns and changing their visible state;
  • restoring a layout, etc.
