Cancel Menu Postback Clientside

[Robert Verderber]

Is there a way to cancel the click on a menu item in the OnClientItemClicked event?

The documentation says you can by returning a false from the handler but I can seem to get it to work.

Here is a routine i wrote to cancel the postback if the user hits the cancel button on the confirm window 

function RADItemClicked(sender, eventArgs)
{
    var item = eventArgs.get_item();
    if(item.get_text()=="Save Changes") {
        if (!confirm("Save Changes?")) { return false }
    }
   
}

Not sure what im doing wrong. Any advise would be appreciated.

TIA

Hello Robert Verderber,

I suggest that you subscribe to the OnClientItemClicking event. In its event handler you can check the text of the clicked item and use set_cancel(true) to cancel the event.

Here is how your event handler can be defined:

function onClientItemClicking(sender, eventArgs)
{
    var item = eventArgs.get_item();
    if(item.get_text()== "Save Changes") {
        if (!confirm("Save Changes?")) { eventArgs.set_cancel(true); }
    }
}

<telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1"
                runat="server"
                OnClientItemClicking="onClientItemClicking">

I hope this helps.

why return false did not work! I have it working with your fix.

Hi,

It works for the asp.net classic RadMenu version.
