Hi -
We have two issues with the WebDataMenu.
1) When a use clicks an item that goes to a slow page (like a complex report that takes 10 seconds to load), there's no way to see that the menu was successfully clicked and something is happening. That is, you don't go right the the new page and see that it's loading - it just sits on the old page with no feedback and then eventually goes to the new page. Is there a way to change this behavior? Users frequently assume they have not clicked correctly. and related ...
2) We experience a bug/problem where items clicked in the drop-down menu don't always register as having been clicked. The workaround is that if you click the parent item first (instead of just hovering on it) and then click the child item, it always works. Anyone else have this problem?
we are on 12.1.20121.2020.
Thanks,
John
Hello John,
Please let me know how I can assist you further with this issue.
Hi John,
Thank you for posting in the community!
For your first issue, I would recommend displaying a popup or displaying some other visual element to convey to the user. This is a design decision that's more up to you.
As for the menu not registering the clicks, I followed the steps you suggested and was unable to reproduce the behavior. Could you please answer the following questions to help me investigate this further.
What browser are you using? What version of the CLR are you targeting? What properties do you have set on the WebDataMenu and the items that don't always register? Any other information that could help solve this faster would br appreciated.
I have attached the sample project I used to test this. Please test this project on your PC; whether or not it works correctly may help indicate the nature of this problem.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
