close api for kendo ui for jquery menu

[SUNIL]

I looked at the demo at https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/menu/orientation.

The code for this demo included the following line of code.

• Why is this line of code necessary ?
• What is the need of passing the parameter  $("#myMenu .k-link") to the close method? I thought we could simply call the close method without any parameters and that would close the menu.

 menu.data("kendoMenu").close($("#myMenu .k-link"));

Hello, Suhil,

Indeed the close method can be called without any parameters to close the Menu. My guess is that the developer who coded the component has seen a case in which passing a parameter might be needed. As for the demo, again, the author of the example might have hit a case in which the Menu needs to be closed programmatically prior to changing the orientation.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
