Saving the Expansion State

The ASP.NET 2.0 TreeView does not persist in its expansion state. You can either collapse all or expand all the tree nodes. It really becomes troublesome when TreeView has a good number of nodes in multiple hierarchal levels. While navigating from one page to another, the hierarchal expansion state of the TreeView gets lost. Again, we have to expand it to that level and navigate to the desired pages. It becomes of no use when one wishes to have expansion state of TreeView maintained on post backs. Hence, the point comes to have this very crucial feature in TreeView. Extended TreeView supports this by default, you do not need do any thing.

Hello Mahr
your control is ok but I need it to be strong signed. I have to put the control in sharepoint page and, as you know, sharepoint does not like not signed assembly.
Can you help me?
Thanks
Alberto

Hi Mahr,
Thanks for the reply. I read the article and it was very helpful in terms of learning the basics on how to extend a control. Thank you. The thing is that with the treeview webcontrol, as you mention in your article, is missing certain mission-critical functionality, such is when posting back it not showing the selected noded in the window, so each time the user has to scroll down. That's crazy-making. I looked at your extendedtreeview.dll in reflector to see if I could figure out how to get it to work properly when I extend the control, but to be honest, I couldn't put it together. Could you help me with this? It would be awesome if you can get me going. The only thing I care about at the moment with treeview is this retarded postback issue. Everything else I have working fine. Thank you!

Hi

Downloaded and replaced an existing tree view with yours. Works exactly as existing tree view, that’s the problem, it is not remembering its state.

Is there a website, page or control setting I need to set?

Hi Mark!
My another article "Developing Custom Controls Part 1" has recently been published. You may view it wwww.aspalliance.com/1526. It explains in detail the types of custom cotrols and the steps in detail required to develope custom controls ( extended one in first part , ExtendedTextBox ). although I have not made exended treeview as an example in this yet reading this article will let you know all required steps and their detail for extending any control.

Hi Mohyuddin,
Very cool. Just wondering, you mention "This article does not explain how to extend a TreeView control. That will be covered in a separate article"... just wondering, have you had a chance to publish that one? If so, could you post a link to it? That would be great. Thanks!

Hi Mike,

Actually the Extended Treeview saves its state by default you won't need set any property. Earlier the property SaveExpandedState was there later it was excluded and I am sorry I could not remove it from article's text.

Do let me know, if you have any concern regarding this.

Regards.

Hi,

You dont need to look for SaveExpansionState property. By default it supports treeview sate saving. Initially I provided this to turn it off/on but later i intentionally removed from code but forgot to remove it from documentation. use it u dont need to set any property for expansion sate saving.

Hi Just downloaded this,just what I need, SaveExpansionState, except this feature is missing. I have gone through all the options and cannot find the feature. According to your info above it should be between populatenodesfromclient and showcheckboxes, but it is not there. Help !!!!!
