How to hide root.

[Ryan C]

I would like to display the items from the 2nd level onwards. How can this be accomplished?

Hello Ryan,

I am not quite sure about the scenario. If you want to hide the radmenuItem and want to use the child items, then use the display style setting between none and block. Here is the example of how to perform this.

C#:

RadMenu1.FindItemByText("Root RadMenuItem1").Style.Add("display", "block"); // Show the item

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function Visibility()
{
    var menu = $find("<%= RadMenu1.ClientID %>");
    var item = menu.findItemByText("Root RadMenuItem1");
    item.get_element().style.cssText = "display: none;";  // Hide the item
}
</script>

Hope this helps,
Princy.

Well I'm using an SQL data source to bind with my RadMenu control. And I got the following Structure:

-->Website Sitemap

---> Home

---> Products

---> Item A

---> Item B

---> About Us

---> Contact Information

---> History

---> Help

Now when I view my page with the RadMenu, all I get displayed is "Website Sitemap", is there a featrue where I can start display from the 2nd level, i.e. Home, Products, About Us, Help?

Hello Ryan,

ASP.NET's and Telerik's SiteMapDataSources have a property ShowStartingNode. Set it to false and you're set.

Thanks, but I'm using the SqlDataSource to retrieve my data. Could you point me to some documentation on how to use the RadSiteMapDataSource to get my data from a table in SQL?
