• Click to Open

  Let the child menu groups open only upon clicking a first-level item thus achieving the behavior of windows-like menus.

• Rich Programming Model

  You can control any property of the Telerik Silverlight Menu at runtime to easily create or manage flexible menus on the fly.

• Check/Uncheck Items

  Let users check/uncheck items and manage the collection of the checked items. Using the corresponding events you can entirely handle the check/uncheck action.

• Boundary Detection

  Telerik RadMenu detects the Silverlight plug-in boundaries and opens its child item-groups  in the opposite direction when the screen boundaries are to be crossed. When there is not enough space in both directions, the control will adjust its items’ position in order to make them visible whenever possible.

• Styling and Appearance

  The Silverlight Menu by Telerik can be fully customized using Expression Blend. There are also several pre-defined themes that can be used to style the menu control. Furthermore, Telerik unique style building mechanism allows you to change the skin’s color scheme with just a few clicks.

• Enhanced Routed Events Framework

  To help your code become even more elegant and concise, we implemented Enhanced Routed Events Framework for RadControls for Silverlight.  This gives you more freedom when you design your applications since you can write instance handlers as well as class handlers for the routed events of our controls.
