RadPanelBar Loses State When Moving From Page To Page

[Larry]

Hey,

I'm working with a RadPanelBar in a master page.   The menu is three levels deep and I'm using a datasource to populate the menu options.  The problem I'm having is when I go from menu option to menu option the menus collapse each time. I'd like to keep the menu expanded as the user goes from page to page.  I've tried "PersistStateInCookie" but sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.  Any Suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Larry

Hi Larry
To provide this behavior i use the following code in my Page_Load event

 RadPanelItem radItem = myradPanelBar.FindItemByUrl(Request.Url.ToString());
            if (radItem != null)
            {
                radItem.Selected = true;
                radItem.Expanded = true;
            }

This code will get the Item related to a given URL and select and expand this RadPanelItem.

Hope it helps
