Truely nasty code

[Dennis]

Nasty code alert...
            menu.AddHandler(RadMenuItem.ClickEvent, new RoutedEventHandler(OnMenuItemClick));


      private static void OnMenuItemClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
      {
         RadMenuItem menu = e.OriginalSource as RadMenuItem;
...

Do you think this works?

nonono.

         RadMenuItem menu = ((RadRoutedEventArgs)e).OriginalSource as RadMenuItem;

works :S Someone didnt get the message about inheritance :S

and guess if this would work:

            menu.AddHandler(RadMenuItem.ClickEvent, new RadRoutedEventHandler(OnMenuItemClick));

That would make it typesafe... but nonono, they have this check:

internal bool IsLegalHandler(Delegate handler)
{
    Type type = handler.GetType();
    if (type != this.HandlerType)
    {
        return (type == typeof(RoutedEventHandler));
    }
    return true;
}

Good thing with reflector, because the error message when actually trying to do this says absolutely nothing.

Hi Dennis,

You are right. Handling the menu items' Click event really sucks and I apologize for that. The good news is that with SP2 (released today) we added ItemClick event on RadMenu and RadContextMenu:

<telerikNavigation:RadMenu ItemClick="OnItemClick" ... />

private void OnItemClick(object sender, RadRoutedEventArgs args)
{
    RadMenuItem item = args.OriginalSource as RadMenuItem;
    ...
}

Hello Dennis,

The version you need is 2009.1.526 (this means Q1 2009, built on May 26). I will post a feature request to the guys who develop and maintain the website about improvements in the internal builds page. Btw, how did you get on the last page? I was unable to find a link to the internal builds with parameters...
