Namespace: DevExpress.Web
Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v18.2.dll
Declaration
Property Value
Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
String | String.Empty | A string value that specifies the ASPxMenuBase‘s client identifier. |
Remarks
Use the ClientInstanceName property to specify a unique client-side identifier for the ASPxMenuBase control. The ClientInstanceName property’s value can be used on the client side to programmatically access the client object rendered for the ASPxMenuBase control in client-side script. This property is particularly important in referencing the ASPxMenuBase control when it is contained within a naming container (for instance, within an ASPxPageControl‘s page or an ASPxPopupControl‘s window).
If the ClientInstanceName property is not specified for a control, the control’s client identifier is generated automatically and equals the value of the control’s ID property. Note that in this case, client-side programmatic access to the control is not allowed when the control is contained within a naming container.
Note
The client-side programmatic interface is available if the ASPxMenuBase.EnableClientSideAPI property is set to true.
