Unable to access radmenuitem name in onclick event of the dynamically created RadMenu

[Rama]

Hi,

I created RadMenu dynamically using HierarchicalDataTemplate using following code.

       <HierarchicalDataTemplate x:Key="MenuItemTemplate"
                                 ItemsSource="{Binding SubItems}">
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Text}" />
        </HierarchicalDataTemplate>

        <telerik:RadMenu x:Name="radMenu" Height="22"
                          VerticalAlignment="Top"
                          Orientation="Horizontal"
                          ItemTemplate="{StaticResource MenuItemTemplate}" ItemClick="OnRadMenuItemClick" />
but in code behind of the OnRadMenuItemClick Event i am unable to find out name of the menu item that clicked.

		private void OnRadMenuItemClick(object sender, RadRoutedEventArgs e)
		{
			RadMenuItem item = e.OriginalSource as RadMenuItem;
 
			if (item != null)
			{
				switch (item.Name)
				{
		
				}
			}
		}

when  i click on menu item .. item.Name allways comming as null. 
 can one please help me how to get the name of the menu item that clicked

but it is working for statically developed radmenu

Thanks

Hi Rama,

You should use item.Header in your switch instead of item.Name. The problem is that if you set the items statically most probably you are setting the x:Name property. When you set the items dynamically this property is not set. I'm sending you a simple project where you will find two RadMenus - one with static and one with dynamic items. You can check the ItemClick logic in code behind.

Hopefully this helps.

Thank you so much for your reply.

The project that you attached does not have files like MainWindow.xaml. Can you verify and send it to me again.

Thank you.
