I'm using the NodeMouseLeftButtonDown event, and need to know where I'm at in the navigation of the xamtreemap. If I load too many nodes, performance takes a big hit. So I'm loading them as needed. The problem is that I have no idea where what the previous nodes are. Something like e.node.currentpath even e.node.parent.DataContext. I just can't seem to find the path, what am I missing?
Hello,
I believe that your work around is good and you can feel free to use it. Currently there isn't anu built-in functionality for this, so if you want you can suggest new product ideas for future versions (or vote for existing ones) at <http://ideas.infragistics.com>.
There are many benefits to submitting an product idea:
- Direct communication with our product management team regarding your product idea.
- Notifications whenever new information regarding your idea becomes available.
- Ability to vote on your favorite product ideas to let us know which ones are the most important to you. You will have ten votes for this and can change which ideas you are voting for at any time.
- Allow you to shape the future of our products by requesting new controls and products altogether.
- You and other developers can discuss existing product ideas with members of our Product Management team.
Steps to create your idea:
1. Log into the Infragistics Product Idea site at http://ideas.infragistics.com (creating a new login if needed).
2. Navigate to the product / platform channel of your choice (e.g. WPF, Windows Forms, ASP.NET, HTML5 / Ignite UI, iOS / NucliOS, etc.)
3. Add your product idea and be sure to be specific and provide as much detail as possible. Explain the context in which a feature would be used, why it is needed, why it can’t be accomplished today, and who would benefit from it. You can even add screenshots to build a stronger case. Remember that for your suggestion to be successful, you need other members of the community to vote for it. Be convincing!
The Product Idea site puts you in the driver’s seat and allows you to track the progress of your ideas at any time, see how many votes it got, read comments from other developers in the community, and see if someone from the product team has additional questions for you.
This is a work around, however I would still like to know the answer. Certainly the structure knows where it is.
I added string Parent to my class. When I fill my data I put in the Parent information as well.
//x is a string that contains the Parent
var x = (e.Node.DataContext as MyClass).Parent;
Thanks for the thought. This gives me all nodes of the parent. I need to know which parent I'm currently in.
For example
Level 1 - Meats, Dairy, Vegetables, Fruit
Level 2 - Under Fruit - Apples.
So I need to know that I'm under Fruit when apples is selected.
Thank you for your post. I have been looking into it and I can suggest you use the following code in the NodeMouseLeftButtonDown event handler in order to get the parent object of the current node:
if (e.Node.Parent is NodesPanel) { var parent = (e.Node.Parent as NodesPanel).DataContext; }
Please let me know if this helps you or you need further assistance on this matter.
Looking forward for your reply.
