[Solved] Login from within a menu item template

[Clive Hoggar]

Hi

I am tearing my hair out over this... help needed (to solve the problem, that is, not to tear
any more hair out!)

I have a RadMenu where one of the buttons has an item template as the only sub menu item.
This contains a RadAjaxPanel containing 2 text boxes and an image button.

I am having trouble getting the button click to trigger the relevant sub,
although if I pull the panel out of the menu onto a blank area of the page
it works.

One thing I noticed is that in Visual Web Developer  design view, the 'lightening bolt' does
not appear for the button when the panel is inside the menu template, so I can't double click it to
create the onclick event handler, so I had to type it by hand.

I did manage to 'find' the button and change its parameters, and 'found' the panel
the same way. eg

Dim buttonItem2 As RadMenuItem = RadMenu2.FindItemByText("CellarClub")
        Dim MemberInfo As ImageButton = DirectCast(buttonItem2.FindControl("MemberInfo"), ImageButton)
        MemberInfo.Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "src='" & ResolveClientUrl("images/buttons/rt-arrow-over-grey.gif") & "'")

Obviously I am missing something.. Please help me out!

Or am I trying to do something that can't be done?

Thanks

Clive
