How do I collapse the visibility of the expand/collapse button and make the tree view adv auto collapse parent rows?

[Mark]

My TreeViewAdv is strictly designed to show everything inside the collection so I have no need for the collapsing/expanding button, I want the TreeViewAdv to be auto collapsed as well. How do I remove the collapse/expand toggle button? I want it collapsed and not hidden because I need the pixel space it's taking up.

 Hi Mark, 

 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion Support. 

 

Query : How do I remove the collapse/expand toggle button? I want it collapsed and not hidden because I need the pixel space it's taking up. 

 

We have checked the reported query and understood that you want to collapse the expander of TreeViewItemAdv. In order to achieve it, you can get the expander instance using VisualUtils and set its visibility as collapsed. Please find the code for the same from the following : 

 

C# 

 

private void TreeViewAdv_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) 

{ 

Expander expand = VisualUtils.FindDescendant(treeview, typeof(Expander)) as Expander; 

if(expand != null) 

{ 

expand.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed; 

 

} 

} 

 

 

 

 

We have also attached the sample for your reference . Please download it from the following location:

Please try this solution and let us know if it is meet your requirement.

Thanks for the help, unfortunately the solution is still quite not there yet, there's still something on the left of the text that's invisible, could probably be the root lines so I put ShowRootLines = "false" but now there's just a blank space on it. I really need that blank space to disappear. I've attached a rar file containing an image showing what you've sent and what I wanted it to look like. Thank you very much.

Thank you so much for the update, however, after applying this to the sample you gave earlier in this thread (and after a few modifications such as applying an mvvm approach and populating it through code rather than manually setting it up on xaml), I've encountered tons of new problems:

1. Only the first row's toggle triangle button is hidden, I could see the toggle triangle button on all other rows.

2. If you drag the first row (that has the hidden toggle button) and simply let go of it after moving it a few pixels, the collapse toggle triangle button appears again

3. If I spam click my own toggle button (This is not a replacement to toggle the main row, this does something else on my main program), there are two more problems happening. It's difficult to reproduce it though, sometimes they appear after a few clicks, sometimes it's after numerous ones:

    3.a. The "textblock" with the name bound to it turns into a "textbox", yes a "textbox", for some reason it turns into a textbox where you could manually change the name which is definitely something I don't want, in fact I used a textblock for this specific reason, I just want to show the name property, I don't want the users changing anything.

    3.b.  I get a "System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException" error.

4. All the rows are still not permanently expanded

5. The user still has the ability to toggle expanding the tier 1 rows, I've made it clear on the earlier replies that I need this tree view adv to Auto collapse every row and DON'T ALLOW the user to un-collapse it.
