Custom toolbar items can be added by defining the toolbar as a collection of ItemModels.
Actions for this customized toolbar items are defined in the toolbarClick event.

By default, Custom toolbar items are in position Left. You can change the position by using the align property. In the below sample, we have applied position Right for the Quick Filter toolbar item.

index.js
index.html
var clickHandler = function(args){
    if (args.item.id === 'toolbarfilter') {
        treeGridObj.filterByColumn('taskName', 'startswith', 'Testing');
    }
};

ej.treegrid.TreeGrid.Inject(ej.treegrid.Filter, ej.treegrid.Toolbar);

var treeGridObj = new ej.treegrid.TreeGrid({
    dataSource: sampleData,
    childMapping: 'subtasks',
    toolbar: [{text: 'Quick Filter', tooltipText: 'Quick Filter', id: 'toolbarfilter', align:'Right'}],
    treeColumnIndex: 1,
    allowFiltering: true,
    toolbarClick: clickHandler,
    height: 265,
    columns: [
        { field: 'taskID', headerText: 'Task ID', width: 90, textAlign: 'Right' },
        { field: 'taskName', headerText: 'Task Name', width: 160 },
        {
            field: 'startDate', headerText: 'Start Date', width: 90, textAlign: 'Right', type: 'date', format: 'yMd'
        },
        { field: 'duration', headerText: 'Duration', width: 80, textAlign: 'Right' }
    ]
});

treeGridObj.appendTo('#TreeGrid');

The toolbar has options to define both built-in and custom toolbar items.

If a toolbar item does not match the built-in items, it will be treated as a custom toolbar item.

TreeGrid have an option to use both built-in and custom toolbar items at same time.

In the below example, ExpandAll, CollapseAll are built-in toolbar items and Click is custom toolbar item.

index.js
index.html
var clickHandler = function(args){
    if (args.item.text === 'Click') {
        alert("Custom toolbar click...");
    }
};

ej.treegrid.TreeGrid.Inject(ej.treegrid.Edit, ej.treegrid.Toolbar);

var treeGridObj = new ej.treegrid.TreeGrid({
    dataSource: sampleData,
    childMapping: 'subtasks',
    toolbar: ['ExpandAll', 'CollapseAll', { text: 'Click', tooltipText: 'Click', prefixIcon: 'e-time', id: 'Click' }],
    treeColumnIndex: 1,
    toolbarClick: clickHandler,
    editSettings: { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true },
    height: 270,
    columns: [
        { field: 'taskID', headerText: 'Task ID', width: 90, textAlign: 'Right' },
        { field: 'taskName', headerText: 'Task Name', width: 160 },
        {
            field: 'startDate', headerText: 'Start Date', width: 90, textAlign: 'Right', type: 'date', format: 'yMd'
        },
        { field: 'duration', headerText: 'Duration', width: 80, textAlign: 'Right' }
    ]
});

treeGridObj.appendTo('#TreeGrid');
