Server-Side Events from WebDataMenu
posted

I am trying to create an application and use the WebDataMenu control. However, I've noticed that there are no server-side events to hook (that I can see) and when using client-side javascript to access the item (per this article), it always returns the key of the first item.

So, how do I capture server-side events that will allow me to tell which menu item was clicked?

    Actually, I was able to figure this out myself. I did it using the following in the code-behind page.

    1. Add the event handler to the Page_Load.
    this.WebDataMenu1.ItemClick += new Infragistics.Web.UI.NavigationControls.DataMenuItemEventHandler(WebDataMenu1_ItemClick);

    2. Add the ItemClick event to be triggered on click, as specified in the event handler.
    protected void WebDataMenu1_ItemClick(object sender, Infragistics.Web.UI.NavigationControls.DataMenuItemEventArgs e)
    {
             switch (e.Item.Key)
         {
                  case "Item1":
                   Response.Write(    "Item1 was clicked.");
                       break;
                  case "Item2":
                   Response.Write(    "Item2 was clicked.");
                       break;
                  case "Item3":
                   Response.Write(    "Item3 was clicked.");
                       break;
                  case "Item4":
                   Response.Write(    "Item4 was clicked.");
                       break;
                  default:
                   Response.Write(    "No item clicked");
                       break;
         }
    }
