How to Prevent Child Nodes from Other Parents in JavaScript TreeView?

This article explains how to prevent child nodes from other parents in JavaScript TreeView. The following steps are used to prevent a child node from being dropped into another parent node in the JavaScript TreeView control.

Step 1: IImplement the TreeView control using our Getting Started documentation.

Step 2 : To prevent a child node from being dropped into another parent node, utilize the nodeDragStop event and check if the droppedNodeData argument contains the hasChildren field with a value of true. If it does, set “args.cancel” to true to prevent the child node from being dropped into another parent node.

// Render the TreeView with image icons
var treeObj = new ej.navigations.TreeView({
 .....

 allowDragAndDrop: true,
 nodeDragStop: dragStop,
});
treeObj.appendTo('#tree');

function dragStop(args) {
   if(args.droppedNodeData != null && args.droppedNodeData.hasChildren){
       args.cancel = true;
   }
}
