change menu item

[Susan]

i have looked thru a number of posts, tried a lot of different things, and cannot get this to work. When I click on a menu item (say from the home page), it navigates to the selected screen. From that page, I want to change the background color of the menu item. I cannot do it from the .aspx using the cssclass, as one screen contains 2 menu items (for example, one screen on my website contains both 'Forms' and 'Links'). When 'Forms' is click, I want to highlight it in the menu and same for 'Links'. They both go to the same page.
I have tried both the following, but neither work. They are in my Page_Load.

 

<style type="text/css">

 

 

.selectedItem {

 

 

background-color: #FFD92F !important;

 

 

color: #000000 !important;

 

}

 

.rmItem { border-right: 1px solid white; }

 

 

.rmItem { border-top: 1px solid #7F8ECB; }

 

 

 

</style>

 

radmenu1.items(11).cssclass='SelectedItem'

AND 

 

Dim currentItem as Telerik.Web.UI.RadMenuItem

 

currentItem = radMenu1.FindItemByText(

"Forms")

 

currentItem.CssClass=

"SelectedItem"

Thanks,
Susan Pelzel

Hi Susan,

If I understand you correctly, you need to implement show path functionality. Please, review this demo and let us know if it helped you:

Sorry, I was not very clear. I have a very simple menu as below:

                             <telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" runat="server" Flow=Vertical BackColor="#212844">
                                <Items>
                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Home" NavigateUrl="default.aspx" CssClass="selectedItem"/>
                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Rec League" NavigateUrl="#"/>
                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Adult League" NavigateUrl="#"/>
                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Tryouts" NavigateUrl="Tryouts.aspx"/>
                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Calendar" NavigateUrl="GJSCCalendar.aspx"/>
                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Tournaments/Training" NavigateUrl="Training.aspx"/>
                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Club Info/Contacts" NavigateUrl="ContactUs.aspx"/>
                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Coaches" NavigateUrl="Coaches.aspx"/>
                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="News" NavigateUrl="News.aspx"/>
                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Photo Gallery" NavigateUrl="PhotoGallery.aspx"/>
                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Forms" NavigateUrl="Forms.aspx"/>
                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Links" NavigateUrl="Forms.aspx"/>
                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Sponsors" NavigateUrl="Sponsors.aspx"/>
                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Feedback" NavigateUrl="Feedback.aspx"/>
                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Donations" NavigateUrl="Donations.aspx"/>

                                </Items>
                            </telerik:RadMenu>

The 'Forms' and 'Links' go to the same page Forms.aspx. When I get to the 'Forms.aspx' page, I either want to highlight the 'Forms' menu item (if that is what they clicked) or the 'Links' menu item (if that is what they clicked). I can determine which one they clicked, I just need to know how to set the background color to a different color so that menu item is 'highlighted'.

If I do the following in the .aspx page, it works. I just need to do it in the code-behind.

<telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Links" NavigateUrl="Forms.aspx" cssclass="selectedItem"/>

Thanks,
Susan

Hello Susan,

You can use the HighlightPath method of the menu item once you find it.

All the best,
