Is There A Good Treeview Control Supports Ajax Searching,filtering?

Solution 1:

I suggest jstree, it does come along with some nice plugins, such as a json plugin to fetch nodes from a server, as well as a search plugin.

It's not a perfect solution for your desired search behavior but you may use this to your advantage:

"The search plugin enables searching for nodes whose title contains a given string, works on async trees too. All found nodes get the jstree-search class applied to their contained a nodes - you can use that class to style search results."

So if you know that all nodes get this class, you could easily hide all nodes beforehand and then let the search plugin add this class which overrides(!important) the display attribute of the css class.

Solution 3:

Check out the TreeView component from obout.com. It's ASP.NET, though.

Solution 4:

Try http://www.addobject.com/nlstree this is a commercial solution, but the best I have come across. Well documented, quite flexible and has a good overall performance. Its behavior can be easily extended using various events it exposes.

If this one doesn't work for your requirement, better start coding one.

Solution 5:

Go for jstree. Its light and good.
