OnClientItemPopulated

The OnClientItemPopulated client-side event occurs when an item in the menu has just had its child items populated from a Web service.

The event handler receives two parameters:

The instance of the menu firing the event.
An eventArgs parameter containing the following methods:

get_item returns a reference to the RadMenuItem that just had its list of child items filled by a Web Service.
get_domEvent returns a reference to the DOM event.

You can use this event to tweak the child items that have just been added:

JavaScript

<script type="text/javascript">
    function itemPopulated(sender, eventArgs) {
        var items = eventArgs.get_item().get_items();
        for (var i = 0; i < items.get_count(); i++) {
            var item = items.getItem(i);
            if (item.get_value() == "SummerLine") {
                item.disable();
            }
            else if (item.get_value() == "PremiumLine") {
                item.hide();
            }
        }
</script>
