How to hide the checkboxes of the parent node in the dxTreeList?

Question

I need to hide the parent node's checkbox (Boolean cell) in the tree List. I use DevExpress with jQuery. I am new to this tech. Kindly anyone help me out to solve this problem with efficient way.

I have searched for the solutions through the internet. If I implement them, I have to restructure my saving mechanism of the dxTreeList. I used the built-in checkbox (Boolean cell), but the resources say to use the cell template with custom checkbox.

My code implementation:

dataSource: dataForControls,
id: "id",
parentId: "parentId",
editing: {
   mode: "batch",
   allowAdding: false,
   allowUpdating: true,
   allowDeleting: false,
},
columns: [
   { dataField: "pageName", caption: "Page / Control", allowEditing: false },
   { dataField: "pageAccess", caption: "Has Access", allowEditing: true, dataType: "boolean",
}
]

I need to hide the checkbox of the parent node.

You can use cellTemplate option to achieve your goal. do it like below:

$("#treeList").dxTreeList({
  dataSource: dataForControls,
  keyExpr: "id",
  parentIdExpr: "parentId",
  editing: {
    mode: "batch",
    allowUpdating: true,
    allowAdding: false,
    allowDeleting: false
  },
  columns: [
    { dataField: "pageName", caption: "Page / Control", allowEditing: false },
    {
      dataField: "pageAccess",
      caption: "Has Access",
      dataType: "boolean",
      allowEditing: true,
      cellTemplate: function(container, options) {
        const isLeaf = !options.row.isNewRow && !options.node.hasChildren; // only for leaf nodes
        if (isLeaf) {
          $("<div>")
            .addClass("dx-checkbox")
            .appendTo(container)
            .dxCheckBox({
              value: options.value,
              onValueChanged(e) {
                options.setValue(e.value);
              }
            });
        }
      }
    }
  ]
});
