ResetExpansionIndicator(Int32) Method

Sets the HasExpansionIndicator property to true for all nodes at a paricular level in the tree. Applies only to nodes whose Override.ShowExpansionIndicator property is set to CheckOnExpand.

Syntax

Visual Basic

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Sub ResetExpansionIndicator( _
   ByVal level As Integer _
) 

C#

public void ResetExpansionIndicator( 
   int level
)

Parameters

level

An Integer specifying the Level of nodes to reset.

Remarks

This method essentially resets the expansion indicator of a node that is loading chilren "on demand.".

When a node whose Override.ShowExpansionIndicator property is set to CheckOnExpand is expanded and no children are added, the expansion indicator on the node disappears. Calling this method will bring the expansion indicator back so that the node may be expanded again. This can be necessary if, for example, the back-end data has changed.

Example

The following sample code illustrates some of the information available in the BeforeExpand event.
