Custom CCS menu

[pbarron]

I have a Prometheus Menu control with a custom skin using a an xml data source which works well.  My next step is to change the css so that each menu option is a different color.  Does any one know how to set about donig this, to I add attibutes to teh nodes in teh XML if so what would the be.

Thanks

Hi pbarron,

When using XmlDataSource you could hook to the OnItemDataBound server event of the RadMenu. In the event handler you could set for each item some or all of the properties: CssClass, FocusedCssClass, ClickedCssClass and so on.

I hope this is useful.

When I add 'OnItemDataBound' I get the following error

'NoOverload for 'RadMenu1_ItemDataBound' matches delegate.Web.UI.RadMenuiEventHandler'


<telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu" runat="server" EnableEmbeddedSkins="False" onitemclick="RadMenu_ItemClick" OnItemDataBound="RadMenu1_ItemDataBound">
<CollapseAnimation Type="OutQuint" Duration="200"></CollapseAnimation>
                    </telerik:RadMenu>


Any ideas why this does not work

Thanks
Paul

Hello pbarron,

Most probably the event arguments specified in your code and those expected by the RadMenu mismatch. The first should be of type Telerik.Web.UI.RadMenuEventArgs.

In any case I have attached a demo project which illustrates the approach.

I hope it helps.
