OnClientMenuItemClicking

The OnClientMenuItemClicking client-side event occurs when the user clicks on a ribbonbar menu item, before the ribbonbar responds to the mouse click.

The event handler receives two parameters:

The instance of the ribbonbar firing the event.
An eventArgs parameter containing the following methods:
- get_item() returns a reference to the ribbonbar menu item that was clicked. In this case it is RibbonBarMenuItem.
- set_cancel() lets you prevent the ribbonbar from responding to the mouse click.

You can use this event to respond when the user clicks on a ribbonbar menu item:

ASPNET

<script type="text/javascript">

    function OnClientMenuItemClicking(sender, args) {
        var item = args.get_item();
        if (item.get_text() == "Flip Vertical") {
            args.set_cancel(true);
        }
    }       
</script>
