It is not always possible to provide all properties that might be needed for certain type of scenarios. That is why menu items(RadMenuItem) provide a special collection called Attributes. You can store any number of attributes in the collection as name/value pairs.
You can set or access custom attributes in one of the following ways:
ASPX/ASCX file
| |  Copy Code |
|---|
<rad:RadMenuItem State="unchecked" Text="Bold"></rad:RadMenuItem>
|
Code-behind
You can also set custom attributes from code behind via the Attributes collection exposed by the RadMenuItem class.
| C# |
Copy Code |
|
RadMenuItem item = new RadMenuItem();
item.Attributes["State"] = "unchecked";
|
| VB.NET |
Copy Code |
|
Dim item As RadMenuItem = New RadMenuItem()
item.Attributes("State") = "unchecked"
|
Client-side
To set the value of a custom attribute on the client-side you should use the SetAttribute method.
| | Copy Code |
|---|
<script type="text/javascript">
function ToggleCheck (sender, args)
{
var item = args.Item;
item.SetAttribute("State", "checked");
}
</script>
|
To get the value of a custom attribute on the client-side you should use the GetAttribute method.
| | Copy Code |
|---|
<script type="text/javascript">
function ToggleCheck (sender, args)
{
var item = args.Item;
var state = item.GetAttribute("State");
}
</script>
