I am catching the OnItemClicking event of the menu and for a particular tool, such as Delete, I want to ask the user if they are sure they want to continue with a simple confirm dialog box.  I plan to use RadWindow's custom confirm but it doesn't block the execution of my code.  So how can I achieve this affect?  I am thinking I will return false to cancel the click and send in a callback function to RadWindow's confirm that will simulate the item being clicked if the user selects Yes.  Is this possible?  And will the OnItemClicking event fire again?

Hi Jacky Chau,

Yes, you are right - radcofirm dialog does not block the thread. You could simulate blocking the thread and achieve the desired behavior in the manner explained in this KB article. You can also find a sample running project there.

If I decided to use my custom confirm dialog box instead of RadWindow, is there a way to programmatically invoke an item click?  I couldn't find anything in the documentation online.

Hello Jacky Chau,

Here is how to force a click on a RadMenu's item:


Instead of get_allItems() method, you can also use findItemByText("MyItem") or findItemByAttribute, findItemByValue, findItemByUrl.
