TreeView Events
This article explains the events available in the Telerik TreeView for Blazor:
OnExpand
The OnExpand event fires when the user expands or collapses a node (either with the mouse, or with the keyboard). You can use it to know that the user performed that action, and/or to implement load on demand.
Handle the expand and collapse event to get the user's action
@Logger
<TelerikTreeView Data="@FlatData" OnExpand="@ExpandCollapseHandler">
</TelerikTreeView>
@code {
MarkupString Logger { get; set;}
//event handler
async Task ExpandCollapseHandler(TreeViewExpandEventArgs args)
{
TreeItem node = args.Item as TreeItem; // Use your actual model(s) for the cast
string action = args.Expanded ? "expanded" : "collapsed";
string lastAction = $"{node.Text} is now {action}, on {DateTime.Now}<br />";
Logger = new MarkupString(Logger + lastAction);
}
// sample data
public IEnumerable<TreeItem> FlatData { get; set; }
public class TreeItem //most fields use the default names and will bind automatically in this example
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Text { get; set; }
public int? ParentId { get; set; } //this is a non-default field name
public bool HasChildren { get; set; }
public bool Expanded { get; set; } //this is a non-default field name
}
protected override void OnInitialized()
{
FlatData = LoadFlat();
}
private List<TreeItem> LoadFlat()
{
List<TreeItem> items = new List<TreeItem>();
items.Add(new TreeItem()
{
Id = 1,
Text = "Parent 1",
ParentId = null, // indicates a root (zero-level) item
HasChildren = true, // informs the treeview there are children so it renders the expand option
Expanded = true // an item can be expanded by default
});
items.Add(new TreeItem()
{
Id = 2,
Text = "Parent 2",
ParentId = null, // indicates a root item
HasChildren = true,
Expanded = false
});
items.Add(new TreeItem()
{
Id = 3,
Text = "Parent 3",
ParentId = null, // indicates a root item
HasChildren = false, //there will be no children in this item
Expanded = true // will not have an effect if there are no children
});
items.Add(new TreeItem()
{
Id = 4,
Text = "Child 1 of Parent 1",
ParentId = 1, // the parent will be the first item
HasChildren = false,
Expanded = false
});
items.Add(new TreeItem()
{
Id = 5,
Text = "Child 2 of Parent 1",
ParentId = 1, // the parent will be the first item
HasChildren = true,
Expanded = true
});
items.Add(new TreeItem()
{
Id = 6,
Text = "Child 1 of Child 2",
ParentId = 5, // the parent will be the first child of the first root item
HasChildren = false,
Expanded = false
});
items.Add(new TreeItem()
{
Id = 7,
Text = "Child 1 of Parent 2",
ParentId = 2, // the parent will be the second root item
HasChildren = false,
Expanded = false
});
return items;
}
}
The event is an
EventCallbackand it can be synchronous (returnvoid), or it can also be asynchronous and returnasync Task.
OnItemClick
The OnItemClick event fires when the user clicks (or presses Enter) on an node (item) of the TreeView. You can use this event to react on user clicking on a node and load data on demand for another component, for example.
Handle OnItemClick to load data on demand for another component based on user click
@* Load data on demand based on user click action *@

SelectedItemsChanged
