SubMenu/ Multi-level menu issue in rad tree context menu

[ankool]

When i use this xml in contextmenu xml file i get menu successfully attached to NODE1 of rad tree view.

<ContextMenus>
    <Menu Name="NODE1" Width="150">
        <Item Text="Expand All" />
        <Item Text="Redraw Tree" />
    </Menu >
</ContextMenus>

But if i want sub menu too in my context menu, this is how i modify my xml . But then i am only getting first level menu items and not getting second level menu items.

<ContextMenus>
    <Menu Name="NODE2" Width="150">
        <Item Text="Add" >
            <Menu >            
                    <Item Text="Page" />
                    <Item Text="Table" />
            </Menu >
        </Item >
        <Item Text="Redraw Tree" />
    </Menu >
</ContextMenus>

Is there some structure / formatting issue with my xml or rad tree view context menu doesn't support multi-levels.

Hello ankool,

From the provided context menu description it seems like you are using the classic RadTreeView control and its built-in menus. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Also, could you please paste here some code snippets on how you applied the context menu to the treeview?

Hi Nick,

You are right i am using rad tree view inbuilt context menu. 
Tree is loaded dynamically and aspx code is,

<radT:RadTreeView ID="RadTreeView1" runat="server" ContextMenuContentFile="RadContextMenu.xml" Skin="Office2007"></radT:RadTreeView>

The content of xml file is ,

<ContextMenus>
    <Menu Name="NODE2" Width="150">
        <Item Text="Add" >
            <Menu >            
                    <Item Text="Page" />
                    <Item Text="Table" />
            </Menu >
        </Item >
        <Item Text="Redraw Tree" />
    </Menu >
</ContextMenus>

However, i 'll repeat that menu runs fine when xml contains :

<ContextMenus>
    <Menu Name="NODE1" Width="150">
        <Item Text="Expand All" />
        <Item Text="Redraw Tree" />
    </Menu >
</ContextMenus>

I am just missing second level menu items with first xml.

Hi ankool,

The built-in context menus of the classic RadTreeView control does not support multi-level items. You should use RadMenu as a context menu of RadTreeView and apply it as shown in the following example:
Rich Context Menu

Hope this helps.

Hi Nick,

But according to the online example it does..."The built-in context menu of the treeview supports multi-level items. In other words, you can define root items, second level items, etc"

How can I impliment a submenu on the "Send Now" menu seen below?

 

<ContextMenus> 
 <telerik:RadTreeViewContextMenu ID="mnuMail" Skin="Outlook" runat="server"> 
 <CollapseAnimation Duration="200" Type="InOutQuint" /> 
 <Items> 
 <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Send Now" ImageUrl="~/Common/Images/Menu/Send.gif" Value="Send"> 
 </telerik:RadMenuItem> 
 </Items> 
 </telerik:RadTreeViewContextMenu>
</ContextMenus>

Hello Greg,

How about this:

<ContextMenus>
 <telerik:RadTreeViewContextMenu ID="mnuMail" Skin="Outlook" runat="server">
 <CollapseAnimation Duration="200" Type="InOutQuint" />
 <Items>
 <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Send Now" ImageUrl="~/Common/Images/Menu/Send.gif" Value="Send">
<Items>
   <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Send Now 1.1" >
   </telerik:RadMenuItem>
   <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Send Now 1.2" >
   </telerik:RadMenuItem>
</Items>
 </telerik:RadMenuItem>
 </Items>
 </telerik:RadTreeViewContextMenu>
</ContextMenus>
