I'm trying to use them a RadMenu inside of a RadSplitter/RadPane and am having issues trying to get the content to fill into the correct pane -- can someone please lend a quick hand? I've attempted to adapt a sample and am programmatically populating a radmenu (called RadMenu2) with items and have set their respective targets so that when they click on the menu items they open in their respective window panes.

    
                    <div id="ParentDivElement" style="height: 100%; background-color: #000000;"> 
        
                        <telerik:RadSplitter ID="MainSplitter" runat="server" Height="100%" Width="100%" 
        
                            Orientation="Horizontal" Skin="Black" FullScreenMode="True"> 
        
                            <telerik:RadPane ID="TopPane" runat="server" Height="5" MinHeight="0" MaxHeight="5" 
        
                                Scrolling="none"> 
        
                                <!-- Place the content of the pane here --> 
        
                            </telerik:RadPane> 
        
                            <telerik:RadSplitBar ID="RadsplitbarTop" runat="server" CollapseMode="Forward" /> 
        
                            <telerik:RadPane ID="MainPane" runat="server" Scrolling="none" MinWidth="500"> 
        
                                <telerik:RadSplitter ID="NestedSplitter" runat="server" Skin="Black" LiveResize="false"> 
        
                                    <telerik:RadPane ID="LeftPane" runat="server" Width="200" MinWidth="150" MaxWidth="400"> 
        
                                        <!-- Place the content of the pane here --> 
        
                                         <telerik:RadMenu CollapseAnimation-Type="None" ID="RadMenu2"  runat="server" Width="100%"  
        
                            Flow="Vertical" Height="100px" OnClientItemClicked="clickHandler" BackColor="White" BorderStyle="None" Skin="Black" ForeColor="Black"  
        
                                            style="background-color: #000000"> 
        
                    <Items> 
        
                        <telerik:RadMenuItem Width="100%" id="lblLoginStatus" NavigateUrl="signout.aspx" runat="server"> 
        
                            <GroupSettings ExpandDirection="Right"></GroupSettings> 
        
                        </telerik:RadMenuItem> 
        
                    </Items> 
        
                        <CollapseAnimation Type="None" /> 
        
                </telerik:RadMenu> 
        
                                    </telerik:RadPane> 
        
                                    <telerik:RadSplitBar ID="VerticalSplitBar" runat="server" CollapseMode="Forward" /> 
        
                                    <telerik:RadPane ID="ContentPane" ContentUrl="home.aspx" runat="server"> 
        
                                        <!-- Place the content of the pane here --> 
        
                                    </telerik:RadPane> 
        
                                </telerik:RadSplitter> 
        
                            </telerik:RadPane> 
        
                        </telerik:RadSplitter></div>

I was hoping that this link would spawn inside of my client pane, but it doesn't seem to be working - it either spawns in the same window or spawns in a new window -- I'm assuming that it cannot find the ContentPane for some reason

    
                            Dim MenuItem3 As New RadMenuItem 
        
                            MenuItem3.Text = "Sign up/Register" 
        
                            MenuItem3.Value = "Sign up/Register" 
        
                            MenuItem3.NavigateUrl = "/register.aspx" 
        
                            MenuItem3.Target = ContentPane.ClientID 
        
                            MenuItem3.Width = "104"

Any ideas where I'm going wrong?TIA!

Hi Michael,

As far as I can see from your code, you want to dynamically create a new menu item and to add it to the RadMenu. If so, you should use the following syntax:

    
                    Dim MenuItem3 As New RadMenuItem()  
        
                    RadMenu2.Items.Add(MenuItem3)  
        
                    MenuItem3.Text = "Sign up/Register" 
        
                    MenuItem3.Value = "Sign up/Register" 
        
                    MenuItem3.NavigateUrl = "/register.aspx" 
        
                    MenuItem3.Target = ContentPane.ClientID  
        
                    MenuItem3.Width = "104"

After I corrected your code in this mannetr, everything started working as expected.

Svetlina, unfortunately this does not solve the problem. It keeps opening in a new frame (in firefox and IE)?

Any other thoughts?

Hi Michael,

The provided code with the applied modification works fine on my side and that is why I assume that something else which is missing is causing the issue on your side. That is why I believe that the best way to proceed is that you prepare a sample fully runnable reproduction demo which isolates the problem, open a new support ticket and send it to me along with detailed reproduction steps and explanations, Once I receive it and I am able to reproduce the issue locally, I will modify it in order to meet your requirements and you will be able to apply the same logic in your original application.

All the best,
