get_selectedItem() is null??

[Frank]

I am trying to get the selected item of the PanelBar but I always get null. Can any one help me? Greatly appreciated.

 

--------------My Code-------------------------------------------
//Getting PanelBar1 inside custom control called "folderExplorer"

 

var panelbar1 = <%=((RadPanelBar)folderExplorer.FindControl("PanelBar1")).ClientID %>;

 

 

//panelbar1 object is okay but I am not able to get any selected items

 

 

var myitem = panelbar1.get_selectedItem();

Hello Frank,

It seems the currently selected item is down in the hierarchy, thus the issue. In order to achieve your goal you will have to first expand the root items in code-behind, i.e.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadPanelBar1.SelectedItem.ExpandParentItems();
    }

Sincerely yours,
