TreeMapItem.Children Property

Returns the collection of child tree map items of the current item.

Namespace: DevExpress.XtraTreeMap

Assembly: DevExpress.XtraTreeMap.v18.2.dll

Declaration

C#

[XtraSerializableProperty(XtraSerializationVisibility.Collection, true)]
public TreeMapItemCollection Children { get; }

VB.NET

<XtraSerializableProperty(XtraSerializationVisibility.Collection, True)>
Public ReadOnly Property Children As TreeMapItemCollection

Property Value

Type	Description
TreeMapItemCollection	A collection of TreeMapItem objects.

Example

To manually provide data for a TreeMap, assign a newly created instance of the TreeMapItemStorage class to the TreeMapControl.DataAdapter property. Then, create several objects of the TreeMapItem class or its descendant class, specify their TreeMapItem.Label and TreeMapItem.Value properties, and add them to the TreeMapItemStorage.Items collection.

Note – to create a group, you will need to add a new TreeMapItem and fill its TreeMapItem.Children collection with tree map items.
