[Proposal] clickNode function

[billmn]

I notice that exists selectNode, openNode, ... functions but doesn't exists a function to simulate a node click.

Something like this :

var node = $tree.tree('getNodeById', 123);
$tree.tree('clickNode', node);

thoughts ?

In which situation would you use the clickNode function?

[billmn]

At now in any specific situation but I think can be useful to call commands in the "tree.click" event. Now exist methods to trigger all the jqTree events (excluding "tree.contextmenu") but not for "tree.click".

Mine is not a request but a simple proposal because I think that was a missing function.

Super Low Priority :)

is clickNode implemented ? or is there anything similar function ?

[mbraak]

You can select a node using the selectNode function.

There is no clickNode function.

[Gaboli]

but selectNode does not trigger the click event for that node.

[mbraak]

I think it does trigger the tree.select event.

If you really want the click event, then perhaps there is a way to trigger it somehow.

.. when walking the tree using the keys, the 'tree.select' event is triggered nicely. So it is easy to connect a function to this event:

• $('#myTree').bind( 'tree.select', function(event) { self.showSelectedObject( event.node ); } );

In my case this works just fine. When a new node is selected via keyboard or mouse-click, the function is called, thus the object displayed in its place.
