Disabling application menu animation

[Nhan Rao]

Is there any way to disable the animation for all submenus in an application menu?   I can't find anything in the theme builder or while editing the UI elements.  In the menu animations demo there's a DropDownAnimationEnabled property, but that doesn't seem to exist anymore.   I tried the following code, and it didn't work:

RadApplicationMenuDropDown ddForm = this.radApplicationMenu1.DropDownButtonElement.DropDownMenu as RadApplicationMenuDropDown;

ddForm.FadeAnimationType = FadeAnimationType.None;

Hi Nhan Rao,

Currently, there is no main animation property which is respected by all sub-menus. Instead, you need to set the animation settings to each sub-menu individually. If you, for example, have a sub-menu opened from RadMenuItem1, consider using the following code snippet:

this.radMenuItem1.DropDown.FadeAnimationType = Telerik.WinControls.UI.FadeAnimationType.None;

I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

Hi Nikolay,

Can you please tell me how I would add this code snippet of yours and where?

Thanks,

Hi James,

Thank you for writing.

Please refer to the attached screenshot for more details on this case. In my example one of my main menu items with text "MainMenu2" is named radMenuItem4. In order to remove the animation for it and off of it submenus, I am using the following code:
 

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        this.radMenuItem4.DropDown.FadeAnimationType = Telerik.WinControls.UI.FadeAnimationType.None;
    }
}
