Hello Shashikanth ,

To expand all nodes you can create a recursive  method which iterates though the nodes and set XamDataTreeNode's IsExpanded property to true, this way in the same method you can access the expansion button and set it's Visibility property to false, for example:

 
private void SetNodeExpandedState(IEnumerable<XamDataTreeNode> nodes, bool expandNode)
 {
     foreach (XamDataTreeNode item in nodes)
     {
         item.IsExpanded = expandNode;

         Application.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() =>
         {
             var expBtn = Infragistics.Windows.Utilities.GetDescendantFromType(item.Control, typeof(ExpansionIndicator), true) as ExpansionIndicator;
             if (null != expBtn)
                 expBtn.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
         }), System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.SystemIdle);
         
         this.SetNodeExpandedState(item.Nodes, expandNode);
     }
 }

You can use XamDataTree's Loaded event to call SetNodeExpandedState method. To handle it in your view model you can use Interaction:
 
 <i:Interaction.Triggers>
     <i:EventTrigger EventName="Loaded" SourceName="xdt">
         <ei:CallMethodAction MethodName="XamDataTree_Loaded" TargetObject="{StaticResource vm}" />
     </i:EventTrigger>
 </i:Interaction.Triggers>

By creating an ExpandedIconTemplate for the child layout you can add the 'Close' button you wish. Additional details are available on Configuring Expanded/Collapsed Node State topic.

From the following forum thread you can see how to update XamDataTree's ItemSource at runtime:

From Configuring Selected Data Items topic you can see an example of how XamDataTree SelectedDataItems property is used as an ItemsSource of the ListView control.

I have attached a simple sample application. You can use it as a starting point for implementing the functionalities you are trying to achieve. It will be great if you create a separate thread for each of your questions next time, this way the communication would be easier and there would be no confusion about the issues. Also other community members that have similar issues would be able to benefit from the threads too.

Let me know if you have any questions.

You can create the ExpandedIconTemplate for the layout you wish to modify. If you want this to be the root layout you need to set it only for it. For example  in my sample applicaiton you can create an ExpandedIconTemplate for CategoryLayout instead of ProductLayout.  You can read more about XamDataTree's capabilities and features from  'About xamDataTree' topic and it's sub topics.

Let me know if you have any questions.
