I have to be missing something easy here.

I place a new treeview control on a webform.
I hard code some nodes in the designer.
I set the itemclick event with some dummy code so that I can hit a breakpoint.

I run the code and the event is not raised when clicking on the tree.

I really like the ease of use of your components and am ready to purchase them except for this issue.

Regards,
-Thomas

Hi,

You need to set RaisesServerEvent to true. It's false by default.

Thanks

Ok that worked fine.

When I add the treeview to my target application the itemclick does not fire. RaisesServerEvent is set to true. The nodes are dynamically populated.

The following code is executed when populate on demand is fired.
foreach (VSSItem vi in vssItems)
{
node = null;
node = new EO.Web.TreeNode(vi.Name);
node.Text = vi.Name;
node.Value = filepath + "/" + vi.Name;

if (vi.Type == 0) // zero is project level node. Enable populate on demand.
{
node.PopulateOnDemand = true;
}
e.TreeNode.ChildNodes.Add(node);
}

Here is the markup:
<eo:TreeView ID="TreeviewProjects"
runat="server"
Height="250px"
Width="250px"
ControlSkinID="MSDN"
OnItemClick="TreeviewProjects_ItemClick"
OnItemPopulate="TreeviewProjects_ItemPopulate"
RaisesServerEvent="True">
</eo:TreeView>

Thanks,
Thomas

I just noticed that I get the following message at the top of the page when I click on the tree.

TreeView ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_TreeviewProjects requires a license. You can purchase a license from http://www.essentialobjects.com/Order.aspx. Please refresh the page to continue. More on license.

Hi,

Which version do you use? When you want dynamic loading to work, you want to make sure that all nodes are there when you post back. For example, if you have populated on demand 100 nodes, then you want to one of them to raises server event, you need to repopulate these 100 nodes on the server side when the page postback, otherwise the TreeView won't be able to find a matching node and it won't fire the event.

Our latest version automatically calls ItemPopulate event when page postback if user has dynamically populated nodes, our early version does not. However, you still want to be very careful when you use this feature. The reason that you use populate on demand is because you have a large TreeView, so if you let it rebuild the TreeView upon post back then it's very counter productive and put huge performance burden on your site.

As such generally you should not enable server event on a TreeView that also has populate on demand enabled. Usually populate on demand is strictly used for navigation purpose.

That's normal. See here for details:

I downloaded the eval this morning the file indicates version 4.0.34.2 (EO.Web.dll) Is this the latest version?.

I do have a very large treeview. It gives access to old Visual Source Safe files. (I'm using the treeview to navigate the VSS project structure. Its really just a file browser) Some of the projects are quite large. This is an intranet site used by 100 users max. The populate on demand feature works extremely well. There is no noticeable lag even on a large tree. I just need to get the on click event figured out.

Hi Tomas,

That is the latest version and it should work. You can test the following scenario:

1. Create a blank form;
2. Put a TreeView into the form, set it's RaisesServerEvent to true;
3. Create a single node for the TreeView, and set it's PopulateOnDemand to true;
4. Handle the TreeView's ItemPopulate event, and put in the following code:

Code: C#
EO.Web.TreeNode node = new EO.Web.TreeNode("test");
e.TreeNode.ChildNodes.Add(node);
node.PopulateOnDemand = true;


5. Handle the TreeView's ItemClick event;

You can then run the page, expand the root node to trigger populate on demand, once the child node "test" is populated, click "test" should:
1. Trigger ItemPopulate event first to re-create node "test" on the server side;
2. Trigger ItemClick event;

Once you get that working, you can then try to compare your code and this test code and see if you can spot anything that breaks it.

Thanks
thomas
