ASPxClientMenuBase.GetMenuCollection Method

Returns a collection of client menu objects.

Declaration

static GetMenuCollection(): ASPxClientMenuCollection

Returns

Type	Description
ASPxClientMenuCollection	An ASPxClientMenuCollection object representing the client-side collection of menu objects.

Remarks

Use the GetMenuCollection method on the client-side to gain access to the collection of menu objects (which can be of either the ASPxClientMenu or ASPxClientPopupMenu type). A particular menu object can be accessed by its name within the collection using the ASPxClientControlCollection.Get method.

Example

This part of the Templates demo illustrates how to use template technology within the ASPxMenu control.

A specific MenuItem.SubMenuTemplate property is used to define the template for the first root menu item’s submenu. The content of a SubMenuTemplate type is represented by the ASPxSiteMapControl, which displays a hierarchical structure of links (site map nodes) that reference different web pages within the site.

The appearance of the second root menu item’s sub-item is defined via the MenuItem.Template property of each sub-item.
