Set RadMenuItem visible

[Yesaya]

Hi all,i wonder is it possible to set RadMenuItem to visible based on database value..Thanks

[Richard Slade]

Hello,

Yes, just get your database value as a boolean and set the visible property according to the value.
If you need further help, please let me know
thanks

May i ask for an example how to achieve it?I'm trying to compare the string which was queried with the RadMenuItem Text.If it's the same then the menu will be shown.Thanks..

[Richard Slade]

Which database are you using?

I'm using microsoft access.

Hello,

Please have a look at this link which shows how to use ExecuteScaler in MS Access. You just need to return the boolean value from your database, based on the result of the ExecuteScaler. You may also find this MSDN Link on editing an Access Database useful.

hope that helps

Thanks.by the way can i use trycast to cast the RadMenuItem visiblity?

[Richard Slade]

Hello,

For the RadMenuItem, you would need to do something like this..

Private Function GetVisibility() As ElementVisibility
    ' db code
    Dim returnValueFromDatabase As Boolean = False
    If returnValueFromDatabase Then
        Return ElementVisibility.Visible
    Else
        Return ElementVisibility.Collapsed
    End If
End Function

Me.RadMenuItem1.Visibility = GetVisibility()

hope that helps
Please remember to mark as answer
Thanks

Hello Dear

Richard, your solution is working well, but how to resize the radcontextmenu,  lets say I have 4 items in the ContextMenu:
1-Item1
2-Item2
3-Item3
4-Item4

And I want to hide some radmenuitem, so I put the following code :
RadMenuItem2.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Hidden
RadMenuItem3.Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Hidden

How to resize the radcontextmenu and to display   :
1-Item1
4-Item 4  

In my case I have 2 lines empty  between item1 & item 4  .
So how to make them Dock ?

Hello,

You can set the element's Visibility to Collapsed and the menu will be sized correctly.

I hope this helps.
