Provide SelectAllCheckboxDirective for TreeList

Hi Telerik Support Team,

I would like to request a feature enhancement for the Kendo UI for Angular TreeList component, specifically regarding the selection mechanisms.

Feature Request:

Please consider adding a (selectAllChange) event emitter to the <kendo-treelist-checkbox-column> component, similar to how selection events are handled or how other advanced components expose header checkbox interactions.

Use Case / Motivation:

Currently, when a user clicks the "Select-All" checkbox in the header, it is difficult to intercept this specific action efficiently to run custom business logic, perform secondary async operations, or manually update external states that depend strictly on the "all selected/unselected" toggle.

While we can listen to general selection changes on the TreeList, having a dedicated (selectAllChange) event that emits the current state (e.g., true, false, or even a custom event object) would provide much cleaner control over the application state, especially in complex data-binding scenarios.

Proposed Syntax:

<kendo-treelist-checkbox-column 
    [showSelectAll]="true" 
    (selectAllChange)="onSelectAllChange($event)">
</kendo-treelist-checkbox-column>

Hello Anderson,

Thank you for the provided feedback.

The requested selectAllChange event, available in Grid, is indeed provided by the SelectAllCheckboxDirective, which is missed in the TreeList. That is why I updated the title of this request accordingly.

We will track the customer demand and consider adding it to our roadmap based on the interest. Alternatively, if the feature is urgent for your project, an option that may be relevant and applicable to your needs is the Feature Acceleration program. This program fits well in scenarios where a feature or enhancement is important for an application's success, but it is not planned to be available at the time of the application's completion. Let me know if you are interested in pursuing this option. 

Regards,
