Problem with persisting state in cookie.

[Adeel]

Hi

I have implemented the radpanel bar, and using the "SPNavigationProvider" i SharePoint (MOSS 2007). I have set PersistStateInCookie to True in order to keep the menu in the right state when clicking on the links in the menu, but when I go to another site which doesn't have the rad panel bar, the panelbar on the page I left will be in the same state as I left when I open that site again. I want the menu to reset to default when I visit other sites. Is that possible?

Another problem that I have is that the menu doesn't expand when I hyperlink from another site. It just stays the way it was. Is it possible to make the menu expand when I link to a "point" in the menu?

Please advise :)

This is my code

<telerik:RadPanelBar
        Runat="server"
        DataSourceID="SPNavigationProvider"
        AllowCollapseAllItems="true"
        Skin="WebBlue"
        ExpandMode="SingleExpandedItem"
        PersistStateInCookie="True"
        CollapseDelay="300"
        EnableTheming="True"
        Font-Bold="False"
        ExpandDelay="300"
         EnableViewState="true"
        Width="215px">

         <CollapseAnimation
          Type="Linear"
          Duration="100">
         </CollapseAnimation>

         <ExpandAnimation
          Type="None"
           Duration="100">
         </ExpandAnimation>
       </telerik:RadPanelBar>

       <asp:SiteMapDataSource runat="server" ID="SPNavigationProvider" StartFromCurrentNode="true" ShowStartingNode="false"/>

I am having the same SharePoint problem. I use the radpanel in the side quick launch. When a user selects a link from the top navigation the quick launch will always show that last item selected from there. (like top level item 1 sub item 4)

My idea is to expire the cookie after 2-3 seconds. This way if they navigate to another page it wont show. If they refresh they lose the navigation as well. Not really the best method.. open to other suggestions.

Hi there,

You can use the approach shown in our PanelBar / Programmatic State Persistence example.

This sucks. I don't understand this.The least you could do was to give some instructions on how to manipulate the panelbar using code behind in SharePoint!!
