LinkStyle	A LinkStyle object that contains the style settings of links.

Remarks

A menu control can display its menu items as hyperlinks if their MenuItem.NavigateUrl property is specified.

The LinkStyle property provides access to the style settings that define the appearance of all links within a menu control. Using the settings available via the LinkStyle property, you can specify the style for normal, hovered and visited states of links.

Example

This part of the ItemLinkMode demo illustrates how to use the ASPxMenu‘s ItemLinkMode property.

Here, two ASPxMenu controls are used with different settings for their ItemLinkMode property. The first menu’s ItemLinkMode property is set by default to ContentBounds allowing the entire area of each menu item to be clickable. The ItemLinkMode property of the second menu is set to TextOnly.
