Rad Menu Show Path

[ell]

Could someone explain a method of making the Menu show path, no matter how deep the user goes. I have seen the way Telerik suggests, but I can not get it to work. Quite annoying:)

Here's code: just a simple menu with child items:

<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Default2.aspx.vb" Inherits="Default2" %>

<%@ Register Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" TagPrefix="telerik" %>

html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >

<

head runat="server">

<title>Untitled Page</title>

</

head>

<

body>

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server">

</telerik:RadScriptManager>

<div>

<telerik:RadMenu ID="RadMenu1" runat="server" Style="z-index: 21; left: 100px; position: absolute; top: 200px">

<Items>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Ferrari" NavigateUrl="ferrari.aspx">

<Items>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="430" NavigateUrl="430.aspx">

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="599" NavigateUrl="599.aspx">

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="612 " NavigateUrl="612.aspx">

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

</Items>

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Lamborghini" NavigateUrl="lamborghini.aspx">

<Items>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Gallardo" NavigateUrl="gallardo.aspx">

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Murcielago" NavigateUrl="murcielago.aspx">

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

</Items>

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Porsche" NavigateUrl="porsche.aspx">

<Items>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Boxster" NavigateUrl="boxster.aspx">

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Cayman" NavigateUrl="cayman.aspx">

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="911" NavigateUrl="911.aspx">

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

<telerik:RadMenuItem runat="server" Text="Cayenne" NavigateUrl="cayenne.aspx">

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

</Items>

</telerik:RadMenuItem>

</Items>

<CollapseAnimation Duration="200" Type="OutQuint" />

</telerik:RadMenu>

</div>

</form>

</

body>

</

html>

And the VB

Partial

Class Default2

Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

Dim item As String = Server.UrlDecode(Request("Item"))

If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(item) Then

Dim currentItem As Telerik.Web.UI.RadMenuItem = RadMenu1.FindItemByText(item)

If (Not (currentItem) Is Nothing) Then

currentItem.HighlightPath()

End If

End If

End Sub

End

Class

Hello ell,

The example you are using is relying on a query string parameter called "item". However in your case you are not specifying such a parameter. You can try a different technique - using the current url to find the corresponding menu item.

 Dim item As RadMenuItem = RadMenu1.FindItemByUrl(Request.Url.PathAndQuery)
 If Not IsNothing(item) Then
    item.HighlightPath()
 End If

I hope this helps,
