OnClientItemClicking not working

[Jason]

I'm evaluating the rad controls and things seem to be going well. But, I am banging my head against the wall on this one issue.

I have a radmenu with a an OnItemClick handler that is in my code behind. This works fine. I also am trying to add an OnClientItemClicking javascript handler to open a RadWindow, but when I click the menu item, I get an error "Microsoft JScript runtime error: 'Item.Text' is null or not an object".

My javascript function looks like this:

function OnClientItemClickingHandler(sender, eventArgs)
{
    if (eventArgs.Item.Text == "Application Configuration")
    {
        radopen(null,"AppSettingsWindow");
        return false;
    }
}

My menu looks like:

<telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" Runat="server" OnClientItemClicking="OnClientItemClickingHandler" OnItemClick="RadMenu1_ItemClick" ExpandDelay="50" style="z-index:3000">
    <CollapseAnimation Type="OutQuint" Duration="200"></CollapseAnimation>
    <Items>
        <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" NavigateUrl="/Default.aspx" Text="Home">
        </telerik:RadMenuItem>
        <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Administration">
            <Items>
                <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Application Configuration">
                </telerik:RadMenuItem>
                <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Create master network">
                </telerik:RadMenuItem>
                <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Create new VPN">
                </telerik:RadMenuItem>
                <telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Create lotsa money">
                </telerik:RadMenuItem>
            </Items>
       </telerik:RadMenuItem>
    </Items>
    <ExpandAnimation Duration="100" Type="InOutSine" />
</telerik:RadMenu>

I've searched the message board, and followed the example, but can't get this one thing working. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jason

Hello Jason,

Welcome to Telerik Community!

It seems that you are using the RadMenu for ASP.NET AJAX, but you are trying to work with the client-side API for the "classic" RadMenu.

Basically you need to replace

eventArgs.Item.Text with eventArgs.get_item().get_text();

and

return false with eventArgs.set_cancel(true);

You can have a look at the Client-side programming part of the help for RadMenu for ASP.NET AJAX

I hope this helps.
