selection.length doesn't return >1 for parent node

[jzhongParticipant]

deleteButton.click(function () {
if (!deleteButton.jqxButton(‘disabled’)) {
var selection = $(“#treeGrid”).jqxTreeGrid(‘getSelection’);
alert(selection.length);
if (selection.length > 1) {
var keys = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < selection.length; i++) {
keys.push($(“#treeGrid”).jqxTreeGrid(‘getKey’, selection[i]));
}
$(“#treeGrid”).jqxTreeGrid(‘deleteRow’, keys);
}
else {
$(“#treeGrid”).jqxTreeGrid(‘deleteRow’, rowKey);
}
updateButtons(‘delete’);

}
});

I was customizing the deleteRow function. After I debugged the error, I find out that selection.length is always 1 for any node. Is there anyway to overcome this issue?

Hi jzhong,

var selection = $(“#treeGrid”).jqxTreeGrid(‘getSelection’); returns the selected row keys. It is not related to any parent-child relationship and I don’t find an issue with that method.

Ok. I see. I thought selection.length>1 meant the node has children.

Is there any API to retrieve the children keys of selected node? Thanks.
