RadMenu and RadMenuComboItem

[Scott]

I have a radmenu with a sub radmenucomboitem, I want to close themain menu item on the click event of the radmenucomboitem.  I have the selected changed event wired to change the theme of the app based on what the user selects however the menu stays on the screen until you click the mouse on the main form.  Is there a way to programatically close this?

Hi Scott,

In order to hide the menu popup, you can call HideChildItems method of the menu item from which you are opening the popup. Here is a sample code snippet which demonstrates the approach:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        this.radMenuComboItem1.ComboBoxElement.SelectedIndexChanged += new Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangedEventHandler(ComboBoxElement_SelectedIndexChanged);
    }

    void ComboBoxElement_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.Data.PositionChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        ThemeResolutionService.ApplicationThemeName = this.radMenuComboItem1.ComboBoxElement.SelectedItem.Text;
        this.radMenuItem1.HideChildItems();
    }
}

I hope this helps.All the best,
Nikolay
