RadPanelbar Parent item properties

[usr9999]

Hi,

I am using RadPanelbar as menu item in my app. The PanelBar is getting created dynamically from the database. I would like to differentiate parent and child menu items. The following is what I would like to do. Please let me how I can get this functionality.

1)    User should not be able to click on the Parent item.
2)    Add 2 different icons to Parent and Child menu items.

The following is my code.

Public Sub BindPanelBar(ByVal ds As DataSet)
        RadPanelBar1.DataTextField = "description"
        RadPanelBar1.DataNavigateUrlField = ""
        RadPanelBar1.DataFieldID = "id"
        RadPanelBar1.DataFieldParentID = "PARENT_ID"
        RadPanelBar1.DataValueField = "Code"
        RadPanelBar1.DataSource = ds
        RadPanelBar1.DataBind()

End Sub

Protected Sub RadPanelBar1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RadPanelBarEventArgs) Handles RadPanelBar1.ItemDataBound
        Dim row As DataRowView = DirectCast(e.Item.DataItem, DataRowView)
        e.Item.Enabled = [Boolean].Parse(row("enable_status").ToString())
        e.Item.Expanded = True
        e.Item.ToolTip = e.Item.Text
 
End Sub

Thank you,

Hello Usr9999,

What you have shown as a code snippet should disable the panelbar items which have "enable_status" false. I presume that the items that have "enable_status" false are the parent items so you should be able to disable them with this code. If you want to distinguish the parent items from the children then you should again check the "enable_status" property and assign the appropriate image to the particular item

Could you clarify what is the problem that you are experiencing with the current implementation of your ItemDataBound event handler function?
