[Solved] How to give checkbox only for parent nodes and not for child nodes in kendo treeview? [closed]

Question

To show checkboxes next to parent nodes (e.g. folders) and not next to child nodes (e.g. files), you can use a checkbox template as suggested in this related SO answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/13848460/1805328

Just use a checkbox template of:

template: "# if(item.hasChildren){# <input type="checkbox"  name="checkedFiles[#= item.id #]" value="true" />#}#"

This creates an input of type="checkbox" only for items that have children.

Here’s the JSBin example.
