Radmenu width inconsistent based on skin

[Moon]

Q3 2008 asp.net ajax controls

I am 2 menu items. I am setting the width of my radmenu to 800.

the width of my page is 800.

I am setting the webblue skin to 800, but it is too wide. To make it the same width, I have to set it to 740.

If I change the skin, it changes the width, even though I still have two menu items and teh width is 740.

The width is just not consistently the same width even though I'm not changing the code. Just the skin.

How can I get a consistent width and why is it not?

        With menSite
            .DataFieldID = "menuId"
            .DataFieldParentID = "parentMenuId"
            .DataNavigateUrlField = "menuURL"
            .DataTextField = "menuName"
            .DataValueField = "menuId"
            .DataSourceID = "SqlDataSource1"
            .CollapseAnimation.Type = AnimationType.OutQuint
            .CollapseAnimation.Duration = "200"
            .Width = "740"
        End With

thanks.

Hello Moon,

The problem is caused by padding and borders, added to the RadMenu container, which mess up with the width (e.g. if you specify a width of 100%, the control gets 100% + border width + paddings in width).

The problem will be fixed for the upcoming SP1 release. Your Telerik points have been updated for the report.
