ImageUrl and App_Themes

[Eric Schoenholzer]

Is there a way to define the ImageUrl property of the menu depending on the selected theme?

..   ImageUrl

="Images/16x16/Activity.gif">  
doesn't get the image from the theme folder and defining the path as "~/App_Themes/MSCRM12/Images/Activity.gif" isn't the best way.

I would like to use them as 'global images' and not specific to a control (like themeing of a control).

Thanks
Eric

Hello Eric Schoenholzer,

I agree that it would be very useful indeed. We have done some research, but it is not very clear how it should be implemented. The standard ASP.NET menu control does not support it either. We will log it and do some additional research, but for the moment we cannot think of a solution.

Hi L Lodder,

I'm afraid we don't have any progress on the matter.

There is a way to do this.  Simply set the relevant menu icon's imageurl from the codebehind in the pageload sub.

In the example below my menu is the uxRadMenu and I'm setting the first entry in the menu to the AddNewRecord icon and the last entry in the menu to the Refresh icon.  I have a variable storing the current Theme name, imaginatively called Theme.

Hope the example helps.

uxRadMenu.Items(0).ImageUrl = Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(GetType(RadGrid), "Telerik.Web.UI.Skins." & Theme & ".Grid.AddRecord.gif")
uxRadMenu.Items(uxRadMenu.Items.Count - 1).ImageUrl = Page.ClientScript.GetWebResourceUrl(GetType(RadGrid), "Telerik.Web.UI.Skins." & Theme & ".Grid.Refresh.gif")
