Load On Demand in WinUI TreeGrid

29 Apr 202224 minutes to read

SfTreeGrid supports to load the data in on-demand. It helps to load the child items from services when end-user expands the node. This can be achieved by using the SfTreeGrid.LoadOnDemandCommand command or SfTreeGrid.RequestTreeItems event as follows.

Load on demand using command

SfTreeGrid allows you to load child items only when they are requested to load on-demand. Initially populate the root Nodes by assigning SfTreeGrid.ItemsSource and then when any node is expanded, child items can be loaded using SfTreeGrid.LoadOnDemandCommand.

Handling expander visibility

SfTreeGrid shows the expander for a particular node based on return value of CanExecute method of LoadOnDemandCommand. If CanExecute returns true, then expander icon is displayed for that node. If CanExecute returns false, then expander icon will not displayed for that node. CanExecute method gets called to decide the visibility of expander icon and before executing LoadOnDemandCommand.

public bool CanExecute(object parameter)
{
    TreeNode node = (parameter as TreeNode);
    EmployeeInfo emp = node.Item as EmployeeInfo;
    if (emp != null)
        if (emp.ReportsTo == -1 || emp.ReportsTo == 34 || emp.ReportsTo == 36 || emp.ReportsTo == 65)
            return true;
    return false;
}

On-demand loading of child items

You can load child items for the node in Execute method of LoadOnDemandCommand. Execute method will get called when user expands the tree node. In execute method, you can populate the child nodes by calling TreeNode.PopulateChildNodes method by passing the child items collection.

MainPage page;
public void Execute(object parameter)
{
    TreeNode node = (parameter as TreeNode);
    page = new MainPage();
    EmployeeInfo emp = node.Item as EmployeeInfo;
    if (emp != null)
    {
        node.PopulateChildNodes((page.DataContext as ViewModel).GetReportees(emp.ID));
    }
}

Load on demand using event

SfTreeGrid supports to load the data in on-demand through SfTreeGrid.RequestTreeItems event. RequestTreeItems event is triggered at the time of loading and when user expand any node at runtime. SfTreeGrid gets the root and leaf nodes through this event handler.
TreeGridRequestTreeItemsEventArgs.ParentItem denotes the data object looking for its child nodes. If it is null, it denotes SfTreeGrid requesting root nodes.

In the below example SfTreeGrid is populated through SfTreeGrid.RequestTreeItems instead of setting SfTreeGrid.ItemsSource.

treeGrid.RequestTreeItems += TreeGrid_RequestTreeItems;

private void TreeGrid_RequestTreeItems(object sender, TreeGridRequestTreeItemsEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.ParentItem == null)
    {
        //get the root list - get all employees who have no boss 
        e.ChildItems = (this.treeGrid.DataContext as ViewModel).EmployeeDetails.Where(x => x.ReportsTo == -1); //get all employees whose boss's id is -1 (no boss)
    }
    else //if ParentItem not null, then set args.ChildList to the child items for the given ParentItem.
    {   //get the children of the parent object
        EmployeeInfo emp = e.ParentItem as EmployeeInfo;
        if (emp != null)
        {
            //get all employees that report to the parent employee
            e.ChildItems = (this.treeGrid.DataContext as ViewModel).GetReportees(emp.ID);
