How to show a RadContextMenu when a RadToolBarSplitButton is clicked

[Tim]

Hi

I am being asked to present a RadMenu type UI when a RadTooBarSplitButton is being clicked.

The reason that I am being asked to do this is because your RadToolBarSplitButton only allows one
layer of buttons in its Item List, and we need a cascading series of buttons.

So I am attempting to still use the RadToolBarSplitButton and just show a RadContextMenu on the client side click event.

I have found some example code that calls  the show function on a context menu variable after I find the ContentMenu, however I am unclear on how to associate the menu with my specific button so it appears just below the RadToolBarSplitButton.

Is the parameter that is passed on the show method the control I want to associate with? 
Or is there some other mechanism?

If you have an alternative solution to my functional requirement to show cascading items below a RadToolBar I would love to hear that too

TIA

Hi Tim,

I would suggest that you use an ItemTemplate and place a Radmenu control in the RadToolBarSplitButton as exemplified in this demo here. Thus you can have as many levels of child items as you need.

Thanks but I came up with a solution that works for me.

I found some code on your web-site that shows how to present a RadContextMenu using
a show method on the context menu object.

So I just created a java script function to do the work and programmatically wired it up to the
ToolBarButton onclick event.

Works great.

Thanks for you input though

Hi Tim,

This seems to be a very nice approach as well. Thank you for sharing it with us.
