  Hi Telerik
  I have a hierarchical menu like:
  Menu: A
  Submenus: A.1, A.2
  Sub-submenus: A.1.1, A.1.2
  Is it possible to get a click-event when clicking on A or A.1? Normally it only comes when clicking on A.2, A.1.1 or A.1.2.
  
  It’s really important for one of my controls to have this function so I know at witch level in the hierarchy, that the user makes a choice that releases a click-event and leaves the menu.
  
  Thanks from Kenneth

  Hi Kenneth,
  
  There is an easy way to achieve this. Just set NotifyOnHeaderClick="True"  and the ItemClick event will be fired even if you click on parent items.
  
  Hope this helps. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.
  
  Kind regards,

  Hi again
  I have this menu with:
  Items,
  Sub-items,
  Sub-sub-items,
  Sub-sub-sub-items.

   

  When a user clicks on one of the items, I simply needs to get the Headers content but I can't figure out how to read it.

  I have built an event as follows:

  private void RadMenu_ItemClick(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e)

         {

             RadMenuItem item = e.Source as RadMenuItem;

             object Header = item.Header;

             //I would like to be able to read the content of the header someway like although this doesn't work:

             string Navn = Header.Where(n => n.Navn).ToString();

         }

  But I don’t know how I can read the content of Header.

  I have attached an image that shows, that I want to be able to read the variable called Navn.

   

  I hope you can help me once again :-)

  With kind regards from Kenneth

  I know this for sure isn't pretty but it works.
  Perhaps someone can suggest an easyer way of doing it?
  

  private void RadMenu_ItemClick(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e)

         {

             RadMenuItem item = e.Source as RadMenuItem;

             object Header = item.Header;

             string Navn = "";

             if (item.Items.Count > 0)

             {

                 switch (item.Items[1].ToString())

                 {

                     case "bygdrift2.Web.Services.BygdriftServiceClasses.rumNrList_Ejendom":

                         Navn = ((bygdrift2.Web.Services.BygdriftServiceClasses.RumNrList)(Header)).Navn;

                         break;

                     case "bygdrift2.Web.Services.BygdriftServiceClasses.rumNrList_Sal":

                         Navn = ((bygdrift2.Web.Services.BygdriftServiceClasses.rumNrList_Ejendom)(Header)).Navn;

                         break;

                     case "bygdrift2.Web.Services.BygdriftServiceClasses.rumNrList_Lokale":

                          Navn = ((bygdrift2.Web.Services.BygdriftServiceClasses.rumNrList_Sal)(Header)).Navn;

                         break;

                 }

             }

             else

             {

                 Navn = ((bygdrift2.Web.Services.BygdriftServiceClasses.rumNrList_Lokale)(Header)).Navn;

             }

             RadWindow.Alert("Navn is: " + Navn );

         }

  
  Thanks from Kenneth
