ItemTemplate and ClickToOpen

[Caesar]

Hello!

We want to use ClickToOpen on the root level of a menu.
At the same time we are using an ItemTemplate for the root level.

This combination doesn't work at all. Nothing happens when clicking the menu-item.
When looking at the source code it is obvious that it doesn't work since no a-tag is generated if it is templated.

Will this be fixed? And is there a workaround to get this to work until it is fixed?

Regards
Rikard

Hi Caesar,

You can try the following as a workaround:

        <telerik:RadMenu runat="server" ClickToOpen="true">
            <Items>
                <telerik:RadMenuItem>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <a class="rmLink"><span class="rmText">This is the root item</span></a>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                    <Items>
                        <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Item 1"></telerik:RadMenuItem>
                        <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Item 2"></telerik:RadMenuItem>
                        <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Item 3"></telerik:RadMenuItem>
                        <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Item 4"></telerik:RadMenuItem>
                        <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Item 5"></telerik:RadMenuItem>
                    </Items>
                </telerik:RadMenuItem>
            </Items>
        </telerik:RadMenu>

Dear Atanas,

From your solution provided above to enable ClickToOpen works in RadMenu with ItemTemplate. Then how can we apply the same to RadMenu with ItemTemplate created from code-behind? See sample from this link - checkbox within RadMenu?

Can you please provide a solution for RadMenu with ItemTemplate created from Code-Behind?

Thanks in advanced,

Dear all, I found a solution, just add HyperLink & span control at the root node from Code-Behind solved the issue.

Cheers,
