    [CLOSED] Using expandPath and node selection for TreeGrid implementation with Direct method

    Hi

    We have implemented the TreeGrid with direct method. Please see this tread (http://forums.ext.net/showthread.php...918#post124918) for design and changes suggested.

    In this implantation, we want to expand particular nodes path and that node to be selected when grid loads.
    For this we have used the 'AfterRender' event to expand path and select the node.
    But it is not working for nodes that are added on demand. While works for node which are not on demand.

    We need to expand the path of last leaf node in the hierarchy and selection of the same.

    Here is the code used in 'AfterRender' function -
     var SelectFirstNode = function () {
                App.TreeGridId.expandPath("/0/1/11/1111/1112");
                var nodeToexpand = App.TreeGridId.getStore().getNodeById("1112");
                App.TreeGridId.getSelectionModel().select(nodeToexpand);
            }
    Here are complete code for your reference.
    controller code -

    Please suggest the correct event and the way to expand node with id 11 till its last leaf node id '1112' and selection of the same as per above code sample.

    Hi @alscg,

    This is called too early:
    App.TreeGridId.getSelectionModel().select(nodeToexpand);
    The node is not loaded yet.

    It should be called in an expandPath's callback.
    http://docs.sencha.com/extjs/4.2.1/#...hod-expandPath

    But a callback is not executed in your scenario. It looks a bug. I am investigating why.

    Not a bug. Just there is no a real Load operation, because false returned form a BeforeLoad listener.

    Ok, I can suggest the following solution.
    var LoadNodes = function (store, operation, options) {
        var node = operation.node;
    
        App.direct.LoadChildNodes(node.getId(), {
            success: function (result) {
                if (result.length > 0) {
                    node.set('loading', false);
                    node.set('loaded', true);
                    node.removeAll();
                    node.appendChild(result);
                    node.expand();
    
                    Ext.Array.each(result, function(node) {
                        if (node.id === App.TreeGridId.nodeIdToSelect) {
                            App.TreeGridId.getSelectionModel().select(App.TreeGridId.store.getNodeById(App.TreeGridId.nodeIdToSelect));
                            delete App.TreeGridId.nodeIdToSelect;
                        }
                    });
                }
            },
            eventMask: {
                showMask: true,
                minDelay: 500
            },
            failure: function (errorMsg) {
                Ext.Msg.alert('Failure', errorMsg);
            }
        });
    
        return false;
    };
     
    var SelectFirstNode = function () {
        App.TreeGridId.nodeIdToSelect = "1112";
        App.TreeGridId.expandPath("/0/1/11/1111/1112");
    };

    Hi Daniil,

    Thanks for providing solution, this solves the problem of selecting node by providing delay.
    Actually i had two problems (you might missed one) so one (node selection) has solved by the fix given by you and second one is here -

    We have used the code
     App.TreeGridId.expandPath("/0/1/11/1111/1112");
    and expectation with this, is it should expand the node with id '1111' but it is not expanding it.
    See the image attached - Click image for larger version.

    But selects the correct node, to see this when we expand node '1111' manually it shows selection for node '1112'.

    Could you please suggest the solution to expand the target node that is '1111' using code
     App.TreeGridId.expandPath("/0/1/11/1111/1112");
    If i repeat this line of code then it gets expanded, but i know it is not the right way.
     App.TreeGridId.expandPath("/0/1/11/1111/1112");
    App.TreeGridId.expandPath("/0/1/11/1111/1112");
    Here are modified complete code - note that node id '1112' is now '1221' just to avoid duplicate node ids.
    Controller Code (only node id change) -

    Hi Daniil,

    Thanks for another fix, yes this fixes both the problems expanding path and selecting node.

    Just to confirm that we have now removed the code line (Please confirm the removal)
    node.expand();


    Added code line
    node.set("loading", true);
    Could you give me the idea why we need this line of code.

    Thanks

    I added this line
    operation.callback();
    It expands the node as needed. If call the expand method before that, it will break the things.

    As for this line
    node.set("loading", true);
    You can remove it. It is not required. I just forgot to remove it.
