Using Kendo UI MVC treeview, how do i load all parents and children on initial load?

Question

How do I go about loading the treeview with all the parents and children. Right now it loads only the Parents and then loads each child when you click.

@(Html.Kendo().TreeView()
    .Name("refModelTreeView")
    .DataTextField("Name")
    .HighlightPath(true)
    .DataSource(datasource => datasource
        .Read(read => read
            .Action("LoadTreeView", "ReferenceModel").Data("addData")
        )
)

Answer 1

Use the expand method as shown in the TreeView API reference.

$(document).ready(function () {
    var treeview = $("#refModelTreeView").data("kendoTreeView");
    treeView.expand(".k-item"); 
});
