Key Features

  • Text editing and Parse mechanism – this will allow the users to manually type/edit/paste the path to the desired node and when edit mode ends the parse logic will convert the input text to a valid selected node. 

    The default PathSeparator is '\'.

  • AutoComplete – this will allow auto completion when the user types.

  • History – holds information about the recently selected locations/places/nodes. Users can navigate to each of them using the history drop down button.

  • AutoSize: supports automatic height according to the design in each theme. It also allows the users to specify their own height for the control and its contents will be stretched vertically.   

  • Custom buttons/elements support - two predefined element collections on the left and right will allow the users option to add buttons(or other elements) on the left and on the right side. 

  • DataSource – allows the control to be used separately without pairing to a RadTreeView. When the DataSource is set it creates an internal tree structure composed of RadTreeNodes. 

  • Auto hide items - when there is not enough space to fit all items horizontally, items are displayed in a pop up menu.

  • Custom items/favorites – this will give the users an option to add custom/default items with associated path(RadTreeNode) allowing fast navigation to a set of predefined places. 

  • Multiple root nodes - this allows users to choose between the different root nodes in the tree view.
