RadMenuItem Click - OriginalSource is always null in RC0

[paul]

In RC0, code that was previously working now fails.

I have a RadMenu with RadMenuItems bound to a Dictionary<int,string> displaying the dictionary 'Value' in the header.

In the click event, we get the corresponding 'Key' from the selected item.

In RC0, the following selectedItem is always null.

private void nodesItem_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            var selectedItem = e.OriginalSource as RadMenuItem;

            if (selectedItem != null)
            {
                var data = (KeyValuePair<int, string>)selectedItem.DataContext;

                var nodeSummary = new NodeSummary(data.Key);

                //do stuff...


            }
        }

Has this changed between SLB2 and RC0?

Kind Regards,

Hi paul,

RoutedEventArgs changed between beta 2 and RC0. Now it have OrignalSource readonly property (in beta 2 it was read/write Source property).
So now the only way to get original sender is to cast the RoutedEventArgs to RadRoutedEventArgs.

private void nodesItem_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
   RadRoutedEventArgs args = e as RadRoutedEventArgs;
   var selectedItem = args.OriginalSource as RadMenuItem;
   if (selectedItem != null)
   {
      var data = (KeyValuePair<int, string>)selectedItem.DataContext;
      var nodeSummary = new NodeSummary(data.Key);
      //do stuff...
   }
}

Then Source and OriginalSource properties will be correctly populated.
We will update the Delegate so this problem will be resolved in the future release.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
