Multiple Context Menus in a Web Part

[Alex]

Hi,
I am trying to add multiple context Rad menus in a WebPart but for some reason when I render the menus in the Render method, the only menu that works is the first menu that is added. I have checked all the ID's and targets and they are set properly. A colleague has tried to create 2 separate menus on a test site and is getting the same problem as me. Do you know what the problem could be?

I have tried a link that was posted from a previous thread but it does not work. This is the link: Adding multiple menus on a single page (ID# 406)



Thank You,
Alex

Thanks

Hi Anil,

This is the code of my menus:

protected

override void CreateChildControls()

{

base

.CreateChildControls();

radList = setMenus(wssUser1);

for

(int i = 0; i < rosterCount; i++)

{

Controls.Add((

RadContextMenu)radList[i]);

}

profileImage = new Image();

profileImage.ImageUrl =

"_layouts/1033/tdsb_aw/images/mysiteplaceholder.JPG";

}

protected

override void OnInit(

EventArgs e)

{

base.OnInit(e);

ScriptManager scriptManager = ScriptManager.GetCurrent(this.Page);

if (scriptManager == null)

{

scriptManager =

new ScriptManager();

scriptManager.ID =

"scriptManager1";

//scriptManager.EnablePartialRendering = true;

Controls.AddAt(0, scriptManager);

}

mainUpdatePanel =

new RadAjaxPanel();

mainUpdatePanel.ID =

"mainUpdatePanel";

mainUpdatePanel.LoadingPanelID =

"myLoadingPanel";

mainUpdatePanel.EnableAJAX =

true;

this.Controls.Add(mainUpdatePanel);

EnsurePanelFix();

}


//This method is the one that sets the targets and ID's of all the menus I am using
//I am pretty sure that this method is correct because when I print out all of the ID's and  targets are assigned correctly.

protected ArrayList setMenus(string[] wssUser1)

{

try

{

//Gets the number of students in the class roster to be used for displaying the menu

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

SPWeb curweb = SPContext.Current.Web;

SPPropertyBag curwebpropbag = curweb.Properties;

ClassRosterBL crBLL = new ClassRosterBL();

DataTable crDT = (DataTable)crBLL.GetClassRoster(curwebpropbag[Constants.propertyBagSchoolCode], curwebpropbag[Constants.propertyBagClassCode]);

this.rosterCount = crDT.Rows.Count;

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

radList =

new ArrayList();

controlTargetList =

new ContextMenuControlTarget[rosterCount];

String menuID ="";

for (int i = 0; i < rosterCount; i++)

{

RadContextMenu radMenu = new RadContextMenu();

radMenu.ID =

"radMenu_" + i.ToString();

radMenu.Skin =

"Vista";

controlTargetList[i] =

new ContextMenuControlTarget();

controlTargetList[i].ControlID =

"profileImage_" + i.ToString();

radMenu.Targets.Add(controlTargetList[i]);

RadMenuItem studentInfo = new RadMenuItem();

studentInfo.Text = wssUser1[i];

radMenu.Items.Add(studentInfo);

radList.Add(radMenu);

menuID += radMenu.ID.ToString() +

", " + controlTargetList[i].ControlID.ToString();

}

menuID +=

"Number of items: " + radList.Count;

throw new Exception(menuID);

}

catch(Exception e)

{

exMsg += e.Message;

}

return radList;

}


//This renders the control to all of the menus
// I think this is where the problem is becuase if I render the menus manually in a different order I noticed that still only the first menu that is being rendered is visible when I run the page.

protected

override void RenderContents(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer)

{

for

(int i = 0; i < rosterCount; i++)

{

RadContextMenu tempMenu = (RadContextMenu)radList[i];

tempMenu.RenderControl(writer);

}

for (int i = 0; i <= newRows.Length - 1; i++)

{

profileImage.ID = "profileImage_"+ i.ToString();

profileImage.RenderControl(writer);

}

}


Plaese let me know as soon as possible if you can determine what's wrong.

Thank You,
Alex
