27 Apr 20235 minutes to read

You can render any components in a Tree Grid column using the template property.

Initialize the column template for your custom component. The template property renders the custom component.

In the following sample, the DropDownList is rendered in the Priority column.

import { TreeGrid, Edit, Toolbar } from "@syncfusion/ej2-treegrid";
import { projectData } from './datasource.ts';
import { DropDownList } from "@syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns";
import { QueryCellInfoEventArgs } from "@syncfusion/ej2-grids";

let dropData = ["Normal", "Low", "High", "Critical", "Breaker"];

let treegrid: TreeGrid = new TreeGrid({
  dataSource: projectData,
  idMapping: "TaskID",
  parentIdMapping: "parentID",
  treeColumnIndex: 1,
  queryCellInfo: dropdown,
  height: 273,
  columns: [
    { field: "TaskID", headerText: "Task ID", textAlign: "Right", width: 70 },
    { field: "TaskName", headerText: "Task Name", width: 100 },
    { field: "StartDate", headerText: "Start Date", textAlign: "Right", width: 100,
      format: { skeleton: "yMd", type: "date" } },
    { field: "EndDate", headerText: "End Date", textAlign: "Right", width: 90,
      format: { skeleton: "yMd", type: "date" } },
    { field: "Duration", headerText: "Duration", textAlign: "Right", width: 90 },
    { headerText: "Priority", width: 90, template: `<input type="text" tabindex="1" id='ddlelement' />` }
  ]
});
treegrid.appendTo("#TreeGrid");
function dropdown(args: QueryCellInfoEventArgs) {
  let ele: HTMLSelectElement = args.cell.querySelector("#ddlelement");
  let drop: DropDownList = new DropDownList({
    dataSource: dropData,
    value: args.data["Priority"],
    popupHeight: 150,
    popupWidth: 150,
    change: valueChange
  });
  drop.appendTo(ele);
}
function valueChange(args) {
  /** Event will trigger when you have change the value in dropdown column */
  alert(args.value);
}
