Long text in TreeList does not align with the corresponding level

Environment

Product

TreeList for Blazor

Description

When a text is longer than the column width, it does a line break but the next line doesn't take into account the depth level and starts at the very left.

Solution

The following example showcases a CSS way to change the described behavior.

To align all lines of text to the same level do the following:

1. Use the Class parameter to set a CSS class to the TreeList and cascade so you affect only its elements, not all instances on the page/app.
2. Create a CSS class setting a default height for the cell and add it to the row through the OnCellRender event.
3. The treelist component implements child hierarchy levels padding through hidden spans with classes k-icon and k-i-none. Use those classes along with the TreeList class to cascade the spans and expand their height to 100% and float to left so that they take up the height of the cell and text remains only to their right.

<style>
    .MyTreeList .defaultHeight {
        height: 50px;
    }

        .MyTreeList .defaultHeight .k-icon {
            float: left;
            height: 100%;
        }
</style>
