kendoMenu within toolbar

[Larissa]

We're revamping our toolbars, which you might have guessed by the volume of questions I'm posting on this forum.  In the past, we have often put kendoMenu controls within a kendoToolBar.  We've been able to make that work, but we've had to implement work arounds, especially when it comes to things like 508 compliance - feedback, keybinding - and we've also had issues with overflow not working properly.  We've ended up not using overflow as a result and now we want responsive toolbars.

 

I'm just wanting to touch base and see if kendoMenu within kendoToolBar is more fully supported in the most recent version of kendo.  And if not, is there a recommended way of dealing with hierarchical data within a toolbar?

Hello Larissa,

The Menu can be used in the ToolBar in a custom template. Here's a dojo example.

Yes.  We have done this in the past with relative success.  However, in your demo there is no overflow.  Can this work in conjunction with the overflow?

Hello Larissa,

For items that have a template an overflowTemplate can be set. This allows to display the Menu in the ToolBar's overflow popup. Here's a link to the dojo example modified with an added overflowTemplate.
