Preserve state after refreshing the control.

[Rajiv]

I have a "gridtreecontrol", with 4 child level, When i expand my control items at any level either (3/4) and select the row and double click on it, it open a popup window where i can update the data value of row then save it after closing on popup window "gridtreecontrol" Datasource is updated and it refresh the grid.

Issue: after Grid refresh i loose the state of "gridtreecontrol" and it reverted to the initial state.

Expected: 

                    1. There should be any state persistence mechanism, so that i can preserve and load state of control before/after refresh.

                    2. Or there should be something which silently update the datasource of control and reflect updated value on items, without effecting the current state of "gridtreecontrol"

Hi Rajiv, 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion product. 

As per the scenario we have loaded the popup in the view while made a double click in the 3^rd level. In the popup closing event, we have updated the content of the popup element in to appropriate cell based upon the row and column index. If I misunderstood your query means please provide us simple sample or try to reproduce the reported issue on below sample so that it would be helpful for us to provide a solution as soon as possible. Please refer the attached sample.

Hi MuthuKumar,

Thanks for your quick response.

Actually the actual scenario is different than given sample application, based on the single row data change, all grid data is recalculated on server side and all row data is again pulled from server, and tree grid data is re-render as fresh view.

So in such scenario-How to preserve the state? Please let me know if i am still not clear.

Hi Rajiv, 

 

Thank you for your update. 

 

We have checked your query. you can preserve the state of expand and collapse in GridTreeControl by using below approaches. If you want to load the view by any of the customized pattern means kindly have that kind of code inside the Loaded event as like below 

 

Code Snippet:C# 

private void TreeGrid_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) 

{ 

    // to get the rootnode of Grid treeControl 

    var rootnode = this.treeGrid.InternalGrid.RootNodes[0]; 

    // whether the root node is expanded/no 

    var rootexpanded = rootnode.Expanded; 

    // to get the childnode of 1st child 

    var childnode = this.treeGrid.InternalGrid.RootNodes[0].ChildNodes[0]; 

    var childnodeexpanded = childnode.Expanded; 

    //to get the childnodes of 1st parent node 

    var childnodes = this.treeGrid.InternalGrid.RootNodes[0].ChildNodes; 

} 

 

At the sample if you want to apply this in runtime means kindly maintain this code inside the click event of the Button or any framework element to meet this requirement.

We suggest you to use SfTreeGrid control. SfTreeGrid is a data oriented control that displays the self-relational and hierarchical data in tree structure with columns and the data can be loaded on-demand also. SfTreeGrid has multiple features like Sorting, Filtering, Editing, Node CheckBox, Data validation, Selection, Exporting, Clipboard support etc. For more details about SfTreeGrid, you can refer the below link.

You can preserve the state of expand and collapse in SfTreeGrid as like below code. For your reference, we have attached simple sample  in the below location. Could you please refer to it. 

Code snippet: C# 

private void TreeGrid_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) 

{ 

    // to get the view root node of treeGrid             

    var rootnode = this.treeGrid.View.Nodes[0]; 

    // whether the root node is expanded or not, if root node is not expanded, then it will expand using ExpandNode() method. 

    if (!rootnode.IsExpanded) 

        this.treeGrid.ExpandNode(rootnode); 

    //to get the childnode 

    var childnode = this.treeGrid.View.Nodes[0].ChildNodes[0]; 

    // to check and expand the childnode 

    if (!childnode.IsExpanded) 

        this.treeGrid.ExpandNode(childnode); 

}
