Problems with multcolumn

Based on one of your examples I created a sample project using TreeViewadv - the project works and displays the tree of data.
The XAML is :

<syncfusion:ChromelessWindow x:Class="TreeContextMenuDemo.Window1" UseNativeChrome="True"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:TreeContextMenuDemo" 
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:syncfusion="http://schemas.syncfusion.com/wpf" 
        WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen" xmlns:sblayout="clr-namespace:SampleLayout.WPF;assembly=Syncfusion.SampleLayout.WPF" 
    Title="ContextMenu Demo" Width="750"  Icon="App.ico"
    Height="620" FontFamily="Calibri" FontSize="13" >
    <syncfusion:ChromelessWindow.DataContext>
        <local:ViewModel/>
    </syncfusion:ChromelessWindow.DataContext>
    <syncfusion:ChromelessWindow.Resources>
        <local:BooleanToVisibilityConverter x:Key="Converter"/>
        <Style TargetType="syncfusion:TreeViewItemAdv" x:Key="2">
            <Setter Property="IsExpanded" Value="True"/>
            <Setter Property="IsEditable" Value="true"/>
            <Setter Property="IsInEditMode" Value="{Binding IsEditing, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
            <Setter Property="IsSelected" Value="{Binding  IsSelected,Mode=TwoWay}"/>
        </Style>
        <HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="1"  ItemsSource="{Binding SubFolders}">
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                <ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>
                    <ContextMenu ItemsSource="{Binding ContextItems}">
                    </ContextMenu>
                </ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>
                <Image Source="{Binding Image}" Margin="1"/>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Caption}" Margin="1" />
            </StackPanel>
        </HierarchicalDataTemplate>
    </syncfusion:ChromelessWindow.Resources>
    <Grid>
        <Grid >
            <sblayout:SampleLayoutControl HideEventsLog="true"   Header="TreeView-ContextMenu" x:Name="Sblayout"
                                          Description="The TreeViewAdv Control is used to display data in a hierarchical order.The TreeViewAdv framework provides options for including Context Menus which can be displayed when a tree-node is right-clicked using HierarchicalDataTemplate support.">

                <Grid HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center">
                    <syncfusion:TreeViewAdv x:Name="treeview"   
                                            ItemsSource="{Binding Models}" 
                                            ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource 2}" 
                                            ItemTemplate="{StaticResource 1}" >
                    </syncfusion:TreeViewAdv>
                </Grid>
            </sblayout:SampleLayoutControl>
        </Grid>
    </Grid>
</syncfusion:ChromelessWindow>

I then attempted to make the treeview a multi-column treeview by doing the following :

 - setting the MultiColumnEnable property  ( e.g. MultiColumnEnable="True" )
 - adding a column collection

The XAML now looks like this

<syncfusion:ChromelessWindow x:Class="TreeContextMenuDemo.Window1" UseNativeChrome="True"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:local="clr-namespace:TreeContextMenuDemo" 
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:syncfusion="http://schemas.syncfusion.com/wpf" 
        WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen" xmlns:sblayout="clr-namespace:SampleLayout.WPF;assembly=Syncfusion.SampleLayout.WPF" 
    Title="ContextMenu Demo" Width="750"  Icon="App.ico"
    Height="620" FontFamily="Calibri" FontSize="13" >
    <syncfusion:ChromelessWindow.DataContext>
        <local:ViewModel/>
    </syncfusion:ChromelessWindow.DataContext>
    <syncfusion:ChromelessWindow.Resources>
        <local:BooleanToVisibilityConverter x:Key="Converter"/>
        <Style TargetType="syncfusion:TreeViewItemAdv" x:Key="2">
            <Setter Property="IsExpanded" Value="True"/>
            <Setter Property="IsEditable" Value="true"/>
            <Setter Property="IsInEditMode" Value="{Binding IsEditing, Mode=TwoWay}"/>
            <Setter Property="IsSelected" Value="{Binding  IsSelected,Mode=TwoWay}"/>
        </Style>
        <HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="1"  ItemsSource="{Binding SubFolders}">
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                <ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>
                    <ContextMenu ItemsSource="{Binding ContextItems}">
                    </ContextMenu>
                </ContextMenuService.ContextMenu>
                <Image Source="{Binding Image}" Margin="1"/>
                <TextBlock Text="{Binding Caption}" Margin="1" />
            </StackPanel>
        </HierarchicalDataTemplate>
    </syncfusion:ChromelessWindow.Resources>
    <Grid>
        <Grid >
            <sblayout:SampleLayoutControl HideEventsLog="true"   Header="TreeView-ContextMenu" x:Name="Sblayout"
                                          Description="The TreeViewAdv Control is used to display data in a hierarchical order.The TreeViewAdv framework provides options for including Context Menus which can be displayed when a tree-node is right-clicked using HierarchicalDataTemplate support.">

                <Grid HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center">
                    <syncfusion:TreeViewAdv x:Name="treeview"   MultiColumnEnable="True"
                                            ItemsSource="{Binding Models}" 
                                            ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource 2}" 
                                            ItemTemplate="{StaticResource 1}" >
                        <syncfusion:TreeViewAdv.Columns>
                            <syncfusion:TreeViewColumnCollection>
                                <syncfusion:TreeViewColumn Width="150" Header="col1" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Caption, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type syncfusion:TreeViewItemAdv}}}"/>
                                <syncfusion:TreeViewColumn Width="100" Header="col2" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Caption, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type syncfusion:TreeViewItemAdv}}}"/>
                                <syncfusion:TreeViewColumn Width="50" Header="col3" DisplayMemberBinding="{Binding Path=Caption, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type syncfusion:TreeViewItemAdv}}}"/>
                            </syncfusion:TreeViewColumnCollection>
                        </syncfusion:TreeViewAdv.Columns>
                    </syncfusion:TreeViewAdv>
                </Grid>
            </sblayout:SampleLayoutControl>
        </Grid>
    </Grid>
</syncfusion:ChromelessWindow>

Now when the code runs there is a significant delay before the treeview is displayed. The "labels" on the tree nodes are missing and the application becomes unresponsive.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Hi Richard,

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion Support.

We have analyzed your code and prepared a sample for Multicolumn TreeView to meet your requirement. In this sample, we have included separate HierarchicalDataTemplate to bind with TreeViewColumn CellTemplate. Please download the sample from the below location.

Sample: MultiColumn_TreeViewSample
