Remove parent checkbox in Angular Treeview component

3 Dec 20245 minutes to read

By enabling the showCheckBox property, you can render check box before each node of TreeView. However, some application needs to render check box in child nodes alone. In such case, you can remove the check box of the parent node by customizing the CSS.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms'
import { TreeViewModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations'




import { Component, Inject, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { TreeViewComponent, DrawNodeEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations';
/**
 * Removing checkbox of parent nodes TreeView sample
 */
@Component({
imports: [
        FormsModule,TreeViewModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<div id='treeparent'><ejs-treeview id='treeElement' #treevalidate [fields]='field' cssClass="custom" [showCheckBox]=true></ejs-treeview></div>`
})
export class AppComponent {

   // Data source for TreeView component
   public Countries: Object[] = [
    { id: 1, name: 'India', hasChild: true, expanded: true },
    { id: 2, pid: 1, name: 'Assam' },
    { id: 3, pid: 1, name: 'Bihar' },
    { id: 4, pid: 1, name: 'Tamil Nadu' },
    { id: 6, pid: 1, name: 'Punjab' },
    { id: 7, name: 'Brazil', hasChild: true },
    { id: 8, pid: 7, name: 'Paraná' },
    { id: 9, pid: 7, name: 'Ceará' },
    { id: 10, pid: 7, name: 'Acre' },
    { id: 11, name: 'France', hasChild: true },
    { id: 12, pid: 11, name: 'Pays de la Loire' },
    { id: 13, pid: 11, name: 'Aquitaine' },
    { id: 14, pid: 11, name: 'Brittany' },
    { id: 15, pid: 11, name: 'Lorraine' },
    { id: 16, name: 'Australia', hasChild: true },
    { id: 17, pid: 16, name: 'New South Wales' },
    { id: 18, pid: 16, name: 'Victoria' },
    { id: 19, pid: 16, name: 'South Australia' },
    { id: 20, pid: 16, name: 'Western Australia' },
    { id: 21, name: 'China', hasChild: true },
    { id: 22, pid: 21, name: 'Guangzhou' },
    { id: 23, pid: 21, name: 'Shanghai' },
    { id: 24, pid: 21, name: 'Beijing' },
    { id: 25, pid: 21, name: 'Shantou' }
   ]

    public field:Object ={  dataSource: this.Countries, id: 'id', text: 'name', parentID: 'pid', hasChildren: 'hasChild' };

}
