RadContextMenu - OnClientItemClicked arg.get_targetElement does not work as expected

[Seth]

I am trying to use a standard RadContextMenu control with either a RadTreeView or the new RadListBox.  I have implemented the OnClientItemClicked event as follows:

function menuItemmClicked(sender, args) {
    var itemTarget = args.get_targetElement();
    ....
}

Is this function supposed to return an object?  Do I need to cast it?

Hi Seth,

If you want to get the client side object of clicked node, then you can try out the following approach (in the case of you are using separate contextmenu for RadTreeView).

ASPX:

<telerik:RadContextMenu ID="RadContextMenu1" runat="server" OnClientItemClicked="OnClientItemClicked">
    <Items>
     . . .
    </Items>
    <Targets>
        <telerik:ContextMenuControlTarget ControlID="RadTreeView1"></telerik:ContextMenuControlTarget>
    </Targets>
</telerik:RadContextMenu>

<telerik:RadTreeView ID="RadTreeView1" runat="server">
    <Nodes>
     . . .
    </Nodes>
</telerik:RadTreeView>

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function OnClientItemClicked(sender, args)
{
    var itemTarget = args.get_targetElement();
    var clickedNodeText = itemTarget.innerHTML; // Clicked node's text
    var tree = $find("<%= RadTreeView1.ClientID %>"); // Clientside object of RadTreeView
    var node = tree._findItemByText(itemTarget.innerHTML); // Access the client side object of clicked node
}
</script>
