    I am using RadMenu in Sitefinity as the navigation menu. I am curious to know if RadMenu can be configured to support the layout from the attached picture? Any solution?

    Cheers,

    Hi Gimi,

    One suggestion to achieve the appearance is integrating RadPanelBar with RadMenu.This demo shows one such approach where RadMenu is embedded in the ItemTemplate of the panel items.

    PanelBar And Menu

    Hi Shinu,

    Thanks for the message.

    I ended up creating a new user control with the following code on page load event:
            if (!Page.IsPostBack) 
            { 
                foreach (CmsSiteMapNode node in SiteMap.RootNode.ChildNodes) 
                { 
                    RadPanelItem radPanelItem = new RadPanelItem(node.GetCmsPage().MenuName, node.GetCmsPage().StaticUrl); 
                    if (node.HasChildNodes) 
                    { 
                        RadMenu radMenu = new RadMenu(); 
                        radMenu.Width = Unit.Percentage(100); 
                        radMenu.Flow = ItemFlow.Vertical; 
                        SiteMapDataSource ds = new SiteMapDataSource(); 
                        ds.StartFromCurrentNode = false; 
                        ds.ShowStartingNode = false; 
                        ds.StartingNodeUrl = node.GetCmsPage().StaticUrl; 
                        radMenu.DataSource = ds; 
                        radMenu.DataBind(); 
                        radPanelItem.Controls.Add(radMenu); 
                    } 
                    radPB.Items.Add(radPanelItem); 
                } 
            } 

    Cheers,
    GiMi
