panelbar is not collapsing

[Anjali]

I have a panel bar in a user control. I can see all the items in the panel bar and expand it too, but I cannot collapse the panel bar. below is my code

if (!Page.IsPostBack)
        {
            CSModel.CsMenu menu = new CSModel.CsMenu();


            IList<CsMenuSection> getMenuItems = menu.GetAllItems();

               foreach (CsMenuSection section in getMenuItems)
               {
                   RadPanelItem newItem = new RadPanelItem(section.Text);
                   RadPanelBar1.Items.Add(newItem);
                   CsMenuItem item = new CsMenuItem();
                   for (int i = 0; i <= section.MenuItems.Count-1; i++)
                   {
                       RadPanelItem childItem = new RadPanelItem(section.MenuItems[i].Text);
                       RadPanelItem InternalChildItem = new RadPanelItem();
                       // add to the child
                       childItem.Items.Add(InternalChildItem);
                       // set the content
                       InternalChildItem.Value = section.MenuItems[i].Link;
                       newItem.Items.Add(childItem);

                   }


               }
        }

My .aspx page is like this

<table>
    <tr>

           <td>
            <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">
            </telerik:RadScriptManager>
            <telerik:RadPanelBar ID="RadPanelBar1" runat="server" ExpandMode="FullExpandedItem" Height="250px" >
            </telerik:RadPanelBar>

        </td>


    </tr>




</table>

My CsMenu section looks like this
  public IList<CsMenuSection> GetMenuItems()
        {
            // go to DB to find menu items.
            CsMenuSection section = new CsMenuSection("DataReview","");
            section.AddMenuItem(new CsMenuItem("Score rep", "/RepScore/Index"));
            section.AddMenuItem(new CsMenuItem("Something else", "/something/something"));

            CsMenuSection section2 = new CsMenuSection("Section 2", "");
            section2.AddMenuItem(new CsMenuItem("Sample", "/repScoring/Selectreps"));


            _menu_item_list.Add(section);
            _menu_item_list.Add(section2);
            return MenuItemList;


        }

Try this. It's not tested on your code but I used it.

if (!Page.IsPostBack)
{
    CSModel.CsMenu menu = new CSModel.CsMenu();
    IList<CsMenuSection> getMenuItems = menu.GetAllItems();
    foreach (CsMenuSection section in getMenuItems)
    {
        RadPanelItem newItem = new RadPanelItem(section.Text);
        RadPanelBar1.Items.Add(newItem);
        CsMenuItem item = new CsMenuItem();
        for (int i = 0; i <= section.MenuItems.Count - 1; i++)
        {
            RadPanelItem childItem = new RadPanelItem(section.MenuItems[i].Text);
            RadPanelItem InternalChildItem = new RadPanelItem();
            // Bind the template
            InternalChildItem.ItemTemplate = new TextBoxTemplate();
            // add to the child
            childItem.Items.Add(InternalChildItem);
            // set the content
            InternalChildItem.Value = section.MenuItems[i].Link;
            newItem.Items.Add(childItem);
            InternalChildItem.DataBind();
        }
    }
}

You'll need this too.

class TextBoxTemplate : ITemplate
{
    public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
    {
        // create a new container object that has a text porperty
        Label label1 = new Label();
        label1.ID = "ItemLabel";
        label1.DataBinding += new EventHandler(label1_DataBinding);
        container.Controls.Add(label1);
    }
    private void label1_DataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Label target = (Label)sender;
        RadPanelItem item = (RadPanelItem)target.BindingContainer;
        string itemText = (string)DataBinder.Eval(item, "Value");
        target.Text = itemText;
    }
}

Hi Shivers,

where can I get the : ITemplate from? Am I missing any namespace?

Please let me know.
My Gui is like this

<table  style="text-align:left"  >
    <tr >

           <td >
            <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">
            </telerik:RadScriptManager>
            <telerik:RadPanelBar ID="RadPanelBar1" runat="server"  Height="250px" >
            </telerik:RadPanelBar>


              </td>


    </tr>




</table>

Hi Shivers,

   Everythig looks fine except those link are not clickable so I can see
/repScore/repscore.aspx, but I cannot clcik on it.

is it possible to make them clcikable so that they can go to /repScore/repscore.aspx page.

Thanks.

In the TemplateBoxtemplate class, change the labels to hyperlink controls and set the 'Text' and 'NavigateURL' properties.

Thanks Shivers!! Everyhting looks great!! Links are working too. Just a qucik question. In my following menu model

public IList<csMenuSection> GetMenuItems()
       {
           // go to DB to find menu items.
           csMenuSection section = new csMenuSection("DataReview","");
           section.AddMenuItem(new csMenuItem("Score rep", "/RepScore/Index"));
           section.AddMenuItem(new csMenuItem("Something else", "/something/something"));
           csMenuSection section2 = new csMenuSection("Section 2", "");
           section2.AddMenuItem(new csMenuItem("Sample", "/repScoring/Selectreps"));
           _menu_item_list.Add(section);
           _menu_item_list.Add(section2);
           return MenuItemList;


       }

In my panel bar, i want to see datareview and "score Rep" and "something else" underneath it. If I click on score rep, it should go to "/RepScore/Index" link. I don't want the link to be shown. Right now I am seeing "score Rep"  and then as I expand it, I see "/RepScore/Index" link too. I want the "score Rep" to behave as link.

is it possible to do.

Thanks, Sorry, i keep asking you questions.

It's ok. But I'm headed to vacation for a week in 2 hours, so I'll be out of touch. 
RadPanelItems have a NavigateURL property. Just set it to the link.

Maybe like this...

RadPanelItem childItem = new RadPanelItem(section.MenuItems[i].Text);
childItem.NavigateUrl = section.MenuItems[i].Link;
