2 May 202311 minutes to read

You can intergrade the context menu with ‘TreeView’ component in order to perform the tree view related operations like add, remove and renaming node.

Following is an example which demonstrates the above cases which are used to manipulate tree view operations in the ‘select ‘ event of context menu.

index.js

ej.base.enableRipple(true);

/**
 * The node operation in tree view using context menu
 */
 
//define the data source for TreeView
var data = [
    { id: '1', name: 'Local Disk (C:)', hasAttribute:{class:'remove rename'}, hasChild: true, expanded: true, },
    { id: '2', name: 'Program Files', pid: '1', hasChild: true },
    { id: '3', name: 'Windows NT', pid: '2' }, 
    { id: '4', name: 'Windows Mail', pid: '2' },
    { id: '5', name: 'Windows Photo Viewer', pid: '2' },
    { id: '6', name: 'Users', pid: '1', hasChild: true, expanded: true },
    { id: '7', name: 'Smith', pid: '6' },
    { id: '8', name: 'Public', pid: '6' },
    { id: '9', name: 'Admin', pid: '6' },
    { id: '10', name: 'Windows', pid: '1', hasChild: true },
    { id: '11', name: 'Boot', pid: '10' },
    { id: '12', name: 'FileManager', pid: '10' },
    { id: '13', name: 'System32', pid: '10' },
    { id: '14', name: 'Local Disk (D:)', hasAttribute:{class:'remove'} , hasChild: true},
    { id: '15', name: 'Personals', pid: '14', hasChild: true },
