How to bring the TreeView child node to view when the root node is collapsed in Xamarin.Forms?

1 min read

You can programmatically bring the child node to the view when all root nodes are collapsed using the BringIntoView method by expanding the specific root node in Xamarin.Forms TreeView.

XAML

Use the SfTreeView.NodePopulationMode property as Instant for SfTreeView.

<syncfusion:SfTreeView x:Name="treeView" ChildPropertyName="SubFiles" NodePopulationMode="Instant" ItemTemplateContextType="Node" ItemsSource="{Binding ImageNodeInfo}">
    <syncfusion:SfTreeView.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Grid x:Name="grid" RowSpacing="0" >
                <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="40" />
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
                </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                <Image Source="{Binding Content.ImageIcon}" VerticalOptions="Center" HorizontalOptions="Center" HeightRequest="35" WidthRequest="35"/>
                <Grid Grid.Column="1" RowSpacing="1" Padding="1,0,0,0" VerticalOptions="Center">
                    <Label LineBreakMode="NoWrap" Text="{Binding Content.ItemName}" VerticalTextAlignment="Center"/>
                </Grid>
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>
    </syncfusion:SfTreeView.ItemTemplate>
</syncfusion:SfTreeView>

C#

In the Button.Clicked event, bring any child item using the BringIntoView method.

public class Behavior : Behavior<ContentPage>
{
    SfTreeView TreeView;
    Button Button;
 
    protected override void OnAttachedTo(ContentPage bindable)
    {
        TreeView = bindable.FindByName<SfTreeView>("treeView");
        Button = bindable.FindByName<Button>("button");
        Button.Clicked += Button_Clicked;
        base.OnAttachedTo(bindable);
    }
 
    private void Button_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        var viewModel = (sender as Button).BindingContext as FileManagerViewModel;
        var item = viewModel.ImageNodeInfo[3].SubFiles[1];
        TreeView.BringIntoView(item, true, true);
        TreeView.SelectedItem = item;
    }
}
