Creating a dynamic splitbutton

[Dan Gros]

I need a dynamically bound splitbutton which can nest 2 levels deep.  Is this possible, maybe with a HierarchicalDataTemplate? Currently, we use the RadMenu control for a split button but it's hard coded in the manner shown in the sample below, however, I need it to bind to a collection of items which contain a collection of subitems. The button would look like this:
MenuButton
    Category1
SubCategory1
        SubCategory2
     Category2
SubCategoryA

The resulting click would then notify which SubItem I had clicked:

This is the hardcoded example:
 <StackPanel Grid.Row="0"  Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
                    <Telerik:RadMenu Grid.Row="0" x:Name="AnalysisTypeMenu" HorizontalAlignment="Left" HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" ClickToOpen="True" Style="{StaticResource OurButtonMenuStyle}">
                        <Telerik:RadMenuItem Name="ButtonName" Header="ButtonCaption" Style="{StaticResource OurMenuItemStyle}">
                            <Telerik:RadMenuItem Header="MenuItem1" >
                         <Telerik:RadMenuItem Header="FirstItemUnder1" Commands:ClickCommands.Command="{Binding AddNewCommand}" Commands:ClickCommands.CommandParameter="A1,A2"/>
                                <Telerik:RadMenuItem Header="SecondItemUnder1" Commands:ClickCommands.Command="{Binding AddNewCommand}" Commands:ClickCommands.CommandParameter="A1,A2" />

Hello, 


Yes, it is possible to bind the RadMenu to a dynamic data using HerarchicalDataTemplate. For more information, please refer to:

• our online documentation - http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radmenu-populating-with-data-binding-to-dynamic-data.html
• our online examples - http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#Menu/DataBinding

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,

This worked great, however, can you provide an example of how I can bind commands to the clicked items? It would also help to pass parameters in those commands

Hello,

 
I would suggest you to use the RadMenuItem.Command and RadMenuItem.CommandParameter properties. For more information, please refer to our online documentation - http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radmenu-features-commands.html
