TreeListNodeIterator Class

The Node Iterator.

Assembly : DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v25.2.dll

NuGet Package : DevExpress.Wpf.Grid.Core

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

csharp

public class TreeListNodeIterator :
    IEnumerator<TreeListNode>,
    IDisposable,
    IEnumerator,
    IEnumerable<TreeListNode>,
    IEnumerable

Public Class TreeListNodeIterator
    Implements IEnumerator(Of TreeListNode),
               IDisposable,
               IEnumerator,
               IEnumerable(Of TreeListNode),
               IEnumerable

Remarks

The Node Iterator allows you to traverse through the nodes without writing recursive code. Nodes are visited one by one, starting from a specified node down to the last node contained within a tree.

To iterate through the nodes, do the following.

Create a new instance of the TreeListNodeIterator class. Multiple constructors allow you to specify a start node or a collection of nodes, along with whether to process only visible nodes.
Use the TreeListNodeIterator.MoveNext method to iterate through nodes. The currently processed node is returned by the TreeListNodeIterator.Current property. Each time the TreeListNodeIterator.MoveNext method is called, the Node Iterator moves to the next node in the hierarchy, and updates the TreeListNodeIterator.Current property. If the current node is the last node, the TreeListNodeIterator.MoveNext method returns false.

To learn more, see Iterating Through Nodes.

Example

This example shows how to traverse through all visible nodes to expand ones that have 4 or more child nodes. Nodes that have less than 4 child nodes are collapsed.
