How to keep a Popup Menu Opened for Radmenu

[Anita]

Hi,

I am using RadMenu for my project, i want when i click on submenuitem the parent menuitem popup should be open.
For Example:

 

 

 

<telerik:RadMenu Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Height="100" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="98,40,0,0" Name="radMenu1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="200" >

 

 

 

 

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="File" StaysOpenOnClick="True">

 

 

 

 

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="New" ></telerik:RadMenuItem>

 

 

 

 

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Open"></telerik:RadMenuItem>

 

 

 

 

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Close"></telerik:RadMenuItem>

 

 

 

 

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

 

 

 

 

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Edit">

 

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Cut" ></telerik:RadMenuItem>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

<telerik:RadMenuItem Header="Paste"></telerik:RadMenuItem>

 

 

 

 

</

 

 

telerik:RadMenuItem>

 

 

 

 

</telerik:RadMenu>

In the above Radmenu if i click on 'File' menuitem i am able to see 3 Menuitem(New,Open and Close).
When i click 'Open' MenuItem , i want to see the 'File' Popup should be open. I can achieve it by setting 'IsSubMenuOpen' property but in RadMenuItem this property is Readonly.

Please Help me to achieve this ..

Thanks & Regards,
Anita.

Hello Anita,

RadMenuItem class have StaysOpenOnClick property. By default it is false so when menu item is clicked it fires its command (if set) fires Click event and then closes everything. This is the default Menu behavior.
If you need to change it you can set StaysOpenOnClick=True on all RadMenuItems that you want to override this behavior. Then clicking on item with StaysOpenOnClick=True will not close the menu.
If you want to set it to all items you can create implicit Style (style without x:Key) and set this property there so that it will affect all instances of RadMenuItem.

Let us know if you need more information.

All the best,

Hi Nihat Özkan,

What do you mean by "stay a Radmenu open after a postback". There is no such concept in WPF world.
Do you need such feature for RadMenu for WPF or you are referring to RadMenu for ASP.NET?

In WPF/Silverlight this is property that can be set in XAML or code:

...
<telerik:RadMenuItem StaysOpenOnClick="True" />
...

Let us know which platform you are referring to.

Hi Hristo,

sorry my fault.
I should check twice in which forum i post, before i do.

Indeed i meant RadMenu for ASP.net, didn't realize, that the WPF-Menu also is named RadMenu.

Nevermind,
Nihat
