    Tree View

    Load Data on Demand

    Documentation

    In those special cases when the built-in Virtual Mode fails, you can gain full control over data loading in the createChildren function.This function is called each time a user expands the TreeView node that has not been expanded before. In the createChildren function, you get data from a server or other sources and then form the collection of child nodes from this data.
