ASP.NET Treeview selectedNodeStyle

Hi,

I use the selectednodestyle with a white background so the user can see
which item was chosen in the treeview navigation.
The nodes have a navigateURL with a target to another frame.
Navigating works with no postback and the style follow the selected node.
When a new child is added to a node there is a button to refresh the node.
This is done by a postback. After this postback the selected node stays
keeps the selected style.

I think it is a bug.
Could I have done something wrong?
Any information is welcome.

Hi,

There is no bug, you missed one line after adding the new node. when you
insert the new node then you make that your selectednode's selected property
is false. Sample code is below:

TreeView1.SelectedNode.Selected = false;

Have a nice work,

Hi Koen,

As Aytacozay, this is because the TreeView will always keep the selected
Node's info, so after you add new nodes and refresh the TreeView, have you
also unselected the original selected Node? If not, you need to mark it as
unselected as aytacozay mentioned.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback.
I see the proposed solution as a workaround.
The tree is used as navigation in my project.
The user navigated to a certain item. The main frame is on a page related to
the item. If the user does a refresh on the nagivation, the main frame is on
the same page and it is desirable the tree shows the original selected node
as selected.
However when the user selects a new node the original node stays selected.

A second problem i noticed:
The selected style works well when clicking on the text of the node.
When the user clicks on the image the navigation works but the selected
style stays on the image. It stays on even when chosing a new item.

I know a solution: don't use images

I am convinced if the somebody from the ASP.NET team has a another look at
the code he/she can do improvements.

Thanks for your response Koen,

Yes, as for the ImageUrl for SelectedNodeStyle, it is an existing known
issue of the TreeView control, the dev team has recorded this for fixing in
future version. also, based on my test, when we use NavigationUrl for
TreeNode to act as hyperlink, the "SelectedNodeChanged" event won't get
fired for the TreeView which is also a problem. Currently what I have
tried is creating a cutsom Treeview class derived from the existing
Treeview, and I put some additional property to store Navigation Url, thus,
I can make all the Node as normal TreeViewNode(not hyperlink node) but use
my customTreeNode class, and in the Treeview's selectedNodechanged event, I
programmatically set Node's Url (reset original selectedNode's url) and
register client-script to do the navigation work. e.g:
Here is my custom Treeview and TreeNode's code:

===============================
namespace ControlLibrary
{
public class CustomTreeView : TreeView
{
protected override TreeNode CreateNode()
{
return new CustomTreeNode();
}
}
public class CustomTreeNode : TreeNode
{
private string _navurl;
public string NavUrl
{
get
{
return _navurl;
}
set
{
_navurl = value;
}
}

}

}
===========================

<cc1:CustomTreeView ID="TreeView1" runat="server" Target="main"
SelectedNodeStyle-ImageUrl="~/Images/nor.GIF"

</cc1:CustomTreeNode>
</Nodes>
<NodeStyle ImageUrl="~/Images/sel.GIF" />
</cc1:CustomTreeView>

===========code behind========================

protected void TreeView1_SelectedNodeChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string oldvaluepath = TreeView1.Attributes["oldnodepath"];

CustomTreeNode oldNode = TreeView1.FindNode(oldvaluepath) as
CustomTreeNode;

if (oldNode != null) { oldNode.ImageUrl =
TreeView1.NodeStyle.ImageUrl; }

TreeView1.SelectedNode.ImageUrl =
TreeView1.SelectedNodeStyle.ImageUrl;
TreeView1.Attributes["oldnodepath"] =
TreeView1.SelectedNode.ValuePath;
string script = @"<script language='javascript'>

window.parent.frames['{0}'].location.href = '{1}';
</script>";
CustomTreeNode node = TreeView1.SelectedNode as CustomTreeNode;

Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetTy pe(),
"TreeView_Select_Script",
string.Format(script, node.Target, node.NavUrl ));
}
==============================

Yes, this is quite abit complex and not very elegant, however, we're
limited to the existing interfaces.

also, sorry for the inconvenience this brings you.

Steven,

Thanks for your effort.
Your solution result in a postback to do the navigation.
I 'll stick with the navigateURL and wait for the fix.
