Conditional Menu enable

[Man]

Hi,

I am trying to build a portal where the application has several forms for a employee

The user will get access to the various forms using the menu items. 

 

All the menu items are disabled on application load and user is shown a search page

When the user successfully searches for an employee, they will be able to access all the forms for that employee

 

Can you please advise how I can dynamically enable the menu items (only when user has searched and selected an employee)

Also, all the data is employee id dependent so the index actions will always need the id to load the relevant data for that page.

Can you please advise how to acheive this

Hi,

Check out the following dojo example that illustrates how you can enable a menu item manually.

Hi Viktor,

   My menu item is on the layout view and i am trying to enable and disable this using my partial view. Hence, it cant seem to find the item. from the layout view

Hello,

You can use an approach similar to the one in the following online example to locate the menu item.

• http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/menu/api

Also check out a simplified version of the JavaScript code for activating the second menu item below:

function enableMenu() {
    var menu = $("#Menu").data("kendoMenu");
    var secondItem = menu.element.children("li").eq(1);

    menu.enable(secondItem, true);
}
