| 3 | +## About the sample |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +This example describes how to edit an item in WinUI Treeview. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +[WinUI TreeView](https://www.syncfusion.com/winui-controls/treeview) (SfTreeView) provides support for editing and it can be enabled or disabled by using [SfTreeView.AllowEditing](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/winui/Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.TreeView.SfTreeView.html#Syncfusion_UI_Xaml_TreeView_SfTreeView_AllowEditing) property. Editing can be triggered for the nodes in TreeView by pressing **F2** key only. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +The changes made by editing a node will be committed only when user move selection to next node or by pressing **Enter** key. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +It is necessary to define [EditTemplate](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/winui/Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.TreeView.SfTreeView.html#Syncfusion_UI_Xaml_TreeView_SfTreeView_EditTemplate) / [EditTemplateSelector](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/winui/Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.TreeView.SfTreeView.html#Syncfusion_UI_Xaml_TreeView_SfTreeView_EditTemplateSelector) for bound mode, to enable editing. For UnboundMode, textbox will be loaded in edit mode by default. |

| 53 | + |
| 54 | + |
| 55 | +## Programmatic Editing |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +### Begin the editing |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +Editing in TreeView can be triggered programmatically by calling the [BeginEdit](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/winui/Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.TreeView.SfTreeView.html#Syncfusion_UI_Xaml_TreeView_SfTreeView_BeginEdit_Syncfusion_UI_Xaml_TreeView_TreeViewNode_) method. |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +``` C# |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +this.treeView.Loaded += OnLoaded; |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +private void OnLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) |
| 66 | +{ |
| 67 | + this.treeView.BeginEdit(this.treeView.Nodes[0]); |
| 68 | +} |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +``` |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +#### NOTE: [CurrentItem](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/winui/Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.TreeView.SfTreeView.html#Syncfusion_UI_Xaml_TreeView_SfTreeView_CurrentItem) is set to the node when the BeginEdit is called. |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +### End the editing |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +[EndEdit](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/winui/Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.TreeView.SfTreeView.html#Syncfusion_UI_Xaml_TreeView_SfTreeView_EndEdit_Syncfusion_UI_Xaml_TreeView_TreeViewNode_) method is used to programmatically end the editing for specific node. |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +``` C# |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +this.treeView.Loaded += OnLoaded; |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +private void OnLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) |
| 83 | +{ |
| 84 | + this.treeView.EndEdit(this.treeView.Nodes[0]); |
| 85 | +} |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +``` |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +## Cancel editing for specific node |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +Editing for a specific node in TreeView can be cancelled by handling the [ItemBeginEdit](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/winui/Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.TreeView.SfTreeView.html#Syncfusion_UI_Xaml_TreeView_SfTreeView_ItemBeginEdit) event. |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +``` C# |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +treeView.ItemBeginEdit += OnItemBeginEdit; |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +private void OnItemBeginEdit(object sender, Syncfusion.UI.Xaml.TreeView.TreeViewItemBeginEditEventArgs e) |
| 98 | +{ |
| 99 | + if ((e.Node.Content as Folder).FileName == "Documents") |
| 100 | + e.Cancel = true; |
| 101 | +} |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +``` |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +## Revert the edited changes while pressing Escape key |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +WinUI TreeView does not have support to rollback the changes when pressing the **ESC** key while editing the TreeView node. But it supports to rollback the changes when underlying data object implements the [IEditableObject](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.componentmodel.ieditableobject?view=net-6.0) interface. |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +The user can take a backup of existing data of a node in the [BeginEdit](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.componentmodel.ieditableobject.beginedit?view=net-6.0) method and can change the existing data to the current data in the [CancelEdit](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.componentmodel.ieditableobject.canceledit?view=net-6.0) method to rollback the changes. |
| 110 | + |
| 111 | +The below code snippet explains the simple implementation of IEditableObject interface to rollback the changes. |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +``` C# |
