AddHandler for RadMenuItem

[mvbaffa]

Hi,

I have just downloaded Telerik for Silverlight.

I am trying to drive the Click event of a RadMenuItem. According to the demo in Telerk site I have to:
menu.AddHandler(RadMenuItem.ClickEvent, new RoutedEventHandler(OnMenuItemClick));

The problem is that I receive the following error:

Error 1 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadMenu' does not contain a definition for 'AddHandler' and no extension method 'AddHandler' accepting a first argument of type 'Telerik.Windows.Controls.RadMenu' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) D:\VS2008 Projects\Site\Site\userControls\CompanyHeader.xaml.cs 27 22 AssetKit

Any idea ???

Thanks in advance.

Hello mvbaffa,

You need to include Teleik.Windows namespace in order to get the AddHandler extension method:

using Telerik.Windows;

Let me know if you need more help.

Hi,

I included Telerik.Windows.Controls, and I must include Telerik.Windows. It worked;

Hello Marcus,

You can read about Application themes from here:
http://www.telerik.com/community/forums/silverlight/general-discussions/apply-themes-on-radcontrols-q1-2009.aspx#766512

If you want to apply theme only to RadMenu (and its RadMenuItems) then you can use the StyleManager.Theme="Vista" attached property:

<UserControl x:Class="SilverlightDockingDemo.Page51"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:telerik="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls"
    xmlns:nav="clr-namespace:Telerik.Windows.Controls;assembly=Telerik.Windows.Controls.Navigation"
    Width="400" Height="300">
   <Grid>
      <nav:RadMenu telerik:StyleManager.Theme="Vista" />
   </Grid>
</UserControl>

Let me know if you need more information.

Hi Hristo,

Is it possible to fire a click event to the parent RadMenuItem? Below is my xaml file using RadContextMenu and RadMenuItem:

<telerikRibbonBar:RadRibbonSplitButton.DropDownContent>
                        <telerikNavigation:RadContextMenu BorderThickness="0">
                            <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem x:Name="parentMenu" Header="Parent Menu">
                                <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem.Icon>
                                    <Image Source="/FSoft.FSuite.UI;Component/Images/EmployeeGRC.png" Stretch="Fill"/>
                                </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem.Icon>
                                <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem.Items>
                                    <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem Header="Sub Menu 1" x:Name="submenu1" Click="submenu1_Click"/>
                                    <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem Header="Sub Menu 2"  x:Name="submenu2" Click="submenu2_Click"/>
                                    <telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem Header="Sub Menu 3"  x:Name="submenu3" ItemsSource="{Binding}" Click="submenu3_Click">
                                    </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem>
                                </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem.Items>
                            </telerikNavigation:RadMenuItem>
                        </telerikNavigation:RadContextMenu>
                    </telerikRibbonBar:RadRibbonSplitButton.DropDownContent>

I have a parent Menu with 3 submenus which have it's corresponding click event. Is is possible to invoke a click event from the ParentMenu? I tried adding a click event in the xaml for the parent menu but it's not triggered when I click the Parent Menu. It will only be triggered if I click one of its sub menus.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
