[Solved] Open links in new windows

[Megan]

I have a RadMenu that's populated with a datasource control.

I want to open the page links in new windows. Is this possible with RadMenu?

[Atanas Korchev]

Hi Megan,

Yes, it is possible. Please add a RadMenuItemBinding whose Target property is set to "_blank". Consider the following example as a reference:

<telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" runat="server">
    <DataBindings>
            <telerik:RadMenuItemBinding Target="_blank" />
    </DataBindings>
</telerik:RadMenu>

Hmm, nothing seems to happen when I click on the links. The hover button remains 'indented'...

Hello Megan,

In order for the items to navigate you need to set their NavigateUrl property first. In databinding scenarios you can use the DataNavigateUrlField property of the menu to specify the database field which contains the urls. Could you verify that you have correctly set up the NavigateUrl of your menu items?

I need to open a new window for some item and open in the same window for others. It is possible to configure with the rad Menu from an access to db (a field can define this)?

Hello Paolo Lo Presti,

You can use a databinding to tell which database column provides data for the Target property

<telerik:RadMenu>
     <DataBindings>
           <telerik:RadMenuItemBinding TargetField="TargetColumn" />
     </DataBindings>
</telerik:RadMenu>
