RadMenu Items Find

[Tim Larson]

Hi,

I am using the RadMenu and my menu is dynamically created using a database.  The user can select a default start up form and I need to search though the menuitems with recursion to find that startup item and then perform the click event on that menu item.

In the windows menu I was able to do this this.mainMenu.Items.Find(reportID, true).  How can I do this on the menu items?

Thanks,

Tim

Hello Tim,

There is no method to do this in RadMenu, but you can manually implement it on your own. Here is a sample implementation of finding RadMenuItem recursively:

private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadMenuItem found = FindItem("radMenuItem12", radMenuItem1);

    if (found != null)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(found.Text);
    }
}
public RadMenuItem FindItem(string text, RadMenuItem mainItem)
{
    if (mainItem.Text == text)
    {
        return mainItem;
    }

    foreach (RadMenuItem item in mainItem.Items)
    {
        var result = FindItem(text, item);

        if (result != null)
        {
            return result;
        }
    }

    return null;
}

I hope this helps. Should you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask.
