Question

I have a kendo treeview i use this function to bind event change

   change: function (e) {
        if (e.field == "checked") {
            gatherStates(e.items);
            alert(e.items);
        }
    }

If i want to know the ‘dad node'(the node that contain the selected child) of the selected child?

You can get the parent node from e.node:

tree.dataSource.bind("change", function (e) {
    if (e.field == "checked") {
        var node = e.items[0];
        console.log("node", node.text);
        console.log("parent", e.node.text);
    }
});
