Retrieving ID as opposed to text

[George SParticipant]

Hello,

I am considering using a dynamically built jqxTree. The user will click on the various nodes, and my program will subsequently look up other data. The tree will contain hierarchical data, with the text of the nodes being similar or even the same. I would like to associate an ID, such as an integer to each display node, and when the user clicks on a node, actually retrieve that ID value. Is this possible?

Thanks

Hi George S,

You can set these fields about each item:

label – sets the item’s label.
value – sets the item’s value.
html – item’s html. The html to be displayed in the item.
id – sets the item’s id.
disabled – sets whether the item is enabled/disabled.
checked – sets whether the item is checked/unchecked(when checkboxes are enabled).
expanded – sets whether the item is expanded or collapsed.
selected – sets whether the item is selected.
items – sets an array of sub items.
icon – sets the item’s icon(url is expected).
iconsize – sets the size of the item’s icon.

In your case you can use value field.

Here is a demo.

So what you are saying is that one could use the value field as a reference to some custom mapping or as a user object.
However I assume that I could also retrieve the standard attributes of a node as listed above.
