RadMenu Problem

[Hassan]

Hi,

I added RadMenuitems as sub items of a RadDropDownButton, I set the autosize property of the RadMenuItems to false and set the size of RadMenuItems and whole DropDownMenu (of Parent DropDownButton) manually. 

Problem: All works fine but the problem is with the SubMenu of RadMenuItem, when the PopUpDirection is on the left side its right boundary does not meet with the left side of the parent menu i.e. leave some space in between. 

My need is to change size of the RadMenuItems, is there any other proper way to do this? and is there a way to eliminate this space?

Thanks

Hassan

Hi Hassan,

Thanks for your interest in RadControls for WinForms.

I have tried to reproduce the described behavior unsuccessfully so could you please send me a sample project that demonstrates the issue so that I can further investigate it. In general, I would not recommend that you manually set the size of the dropdown menu and its subitems, because in this way the layout system which arranges the visual elements may not function properly.

Please note that you have to open a new support ticket so that you can attach files. Do not hesitate to write back if you have further questions, some feedback, or suggestions.

Best wishes,

     I am also facing the same problem. When there  is no space on the right side for the sub menu to open, it will open on the left side.
In that case its right boundary does not meet with the left side of the parent menu. There is some vertical space between sub menu and parent menu. Please find one solution.

Thanks

Hello Anoop,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

I have tried to reproduce the described problem without any success. Here is my sample code achieving the result from the attached picture:

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();

    RadMenuItem item1 = new RadMenuItem("item1");
    item1.AutoSize = false;
    item1.Size = new Size(100, 20);

    RadMenuItem subitem1 = new RadMenuItem("sub-item1");
    subitem1.AutoSize = false;
    subitem1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(50, 20);
    item1.Items.Add(subitem1);

    RadMenuItem subitem2 = new RadMenuItem("sub-item2");
    subitem2.AutoSize = false;
    subitem2.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(50, 20);
    item1.Items.Add(subitem2);

    item1.PopupDirection = RadDirection.Left;
    this.radDropDownButton1.Items.Add(item1);

    this.radDropDownButton1.DropDownDirection = RadDirection.Right;
    this.radDropDownButton1.DropDownButtonElement.DropDownMenu.AutoSize = false;
    this.radDropDownButton1.DropDownButtonElement.DropDownMenu.MinimumSize = new Size(100, 50);
}

Could you please share your sample code which reproduces this undesired behavior? Thank you in advance.

I am looking forward to your reply.

    I had the problem faced in web, not in windows application. The pop up direction is not set as left, which is right itself. It ll come left only when there is no space in the right side. You can check with the rad menu example in your demo.

    I had attached the screen shot. This is the same thing happened in my case also.

Hello Anoop ,

In case your issue is related to the web controls I would suggest that you post your issue in the ASP.NET AJAX forums instead of the forums related to t he windows controls. Thus we could be able to avoid any confusion that might occur in our communication.

I will also post the answer of your question here for your reference. However, I would ask you to continue the communication in the ticket with id 751315 to avoid any further misunderstandings.

Considering the issue that you describe I can suggest that you try using the following css class selectors in order to workaround the issue that you experience:

div.RadMenu .rmRoundedCorners ul.rmGroup .rmSlide,
 ul.rmRoundedCorners ul.rmGroup .rmSlide
{
/*by changing the value you can adjust to get the needed look*/
margin-left: -1px;
  }
