Get root value

[TitaniumParticipant]

Hello,

After multiple search and did not find my happiness, I just ask you a question.
How to get the value of the root of a tree by selecting a child?

Hi Titanium,

Unfortunately, there’s no available API for that. You can however get the parentElement from an item by using the item’s parentElement property. Then you can call the “getItem” method passing the parentElement and get its parentElement and so on until the parentElement is null. When it is null, that means that you found the “root” item.

Thank you for your answer, i could make this

	$('#Tree').on('select',function(event) {
		var args = event.args;
		var item = $('#Tree').jqxTree('getItem', args.element);
		var lastitem = item;
		var parentitem;

		while(true)	{
			parentitem = $('#Tree').jqxTree('getItem', lastitem.parentElement);
			
			if (parentitem != null)
				lastitem = parentitem;
			else
				break;
		}
		console.log(lastitem.value);
	});

It works well, it could be useful to another person.
