I am trying to add multiple context Rad menus in a WebPart but for some reason when I render the menus in the Render method, the only menu that works is the first menu that is added. I have checked all the ID's and targets and they are set properly. A colleague has tried to create 2 separate menus on a test site and is getting the same problem as me. Do you know what the problem could be?
I have tried a link that was posted from a previous thread but it does not work. This is the link: Adding multiple menus on a single page (ID# 406)
Thank You,
Alex

This is the code of my menus:
protected
override void CreateChildControls()
{
base
.CreateChildControls();
radList = setMenus(wssUser1);
for
(int i = 0; i < rosterCount; i++)
{
Controls.Add((
RadContextMenu)radList[i]);
}
profileImage = new Image();
profileImage.ImageUrl =
"_layouts/1033/tdsb_aw/images/mysiteplaceholder.JPG";
}
protected
override void OnInit(
EventArgs e)
{
base.OnInit(e);
ScriptManager scriptManager = ScriptManager.GetCurrent(this.Page);
if (scriptManager == null)
{
scriptManager =
new ScriptManager();
scriptManager.ID =
"scriptManager1";
//scriptManager.EnablePartialRendering = true;
Controls.AddAt(0, scriptManager);
}
mainUpdatePanel =
new RadAjaxPanel();
mainUpdatePanel.ID =
"mainUpdatePanel";
mainUpdatePanel.LoadingPanelID =
"myLoadingPanel";
mainUpdatePanel.EnableAJAX =
true;
this.Controls.Add(mainUpdatePanel);
EnsurePanelFix();
}
//This method is the one that sets the targets and ID's of all the menus I am using
//I am pretty sure that this method is correct because when I print out all of the ID's and targets are assigned correctly.
protected ArrayList setMenus(string[] wssUser1)
{
try
{
//Gets the number of students in the class roster to be used for displaying the menu
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
SPWeb curweb = SPContext.Current.Web;
SPPropertyBag curwebpropbag = curweb.Properties;
ClassRosterBL crBLL = new ClassRosterBL();
DataTable crDT = (DataTable)crBLL.GetClassRoster(curwebpropbag[Constants.propertyBagSchoolCode], curwebpropbag[Constants.propertyBagClassCode]);
this.rosterCount = crDT.Rows.Count;
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
radList =
new ArrayList();
controlTargetList =
new ContextMenuControlTarget[rosterCount];
String menuID ="";
for (int i = 0; i < rosterCount; i++)
{
RadContextMenu radMenu = new RadContextMenu();
radMenu.ID =
"radMenu_" + i.ToString();
radMenu.Skin =
"Vista";
controlTargetList[i] =
new ContextMenuControlTarget();
controlTargetList[i].ControlID =
"profileImage_" + i.ToString();
radMenu.Targets.Add(controlTargetList[i]);
RadMenuItem studentInfo = new RadMenuItem();
studentInfo.Text = wssUser1[i];
radMenu.Items.Add(studentInfo);
radList.Add(radMenu);
menuID += radMenu.ID.ToString() +
", " + controlTargetList[i].ControlID.ToString();
}
menuID +=
"Number of items: " + radList.Count;
throw new Exception(menuID);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
exMsg += e.Message;
}
return radList;
}
//This renders the control to all of the menus
// I think this is where the problem is becuase if I render the menus manually in a different order I noticed that still only the first menu that is being rendered is visible when I run the page.
protected
override void RenderContents(System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
for
(int i = 0; i < rosterCount; i++)
{
RadContextMenu tempMenu = (RadContextMenu)radList[i];
tempMenu.RenderControl(writer);
}
for (int i = 0; i <= newRows.Length - 1; i++)
{
profileImage.ID = "profileImage_"+ i.ToString();
profileImage.RenderControl(writer);
}
}
Plaese let me know as soon as possible if you can determine what's wrong.
Thank You,
Alex
