ejmenu on mouseout hide the menu after some time

Hi,

When the mouseout event happens on ejmenu the menu hides immediately. It is possible to apply some delay in hiding the menu like hide after 5 or 10 seconds.

We want the menu to be displayed for some seconds even after doing mouseout of the menu.

Thanks

Hi Balasubramanian,   
   
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support.   
   
Query1: When the mouseout event happens on ejmenu the menu hides immediately. It is possible to apply some delay in hiding the menu like hide after 5 or 10 seconds.   
   
Yes, it is possible to delay before hiding the menu items. To delay, you need to override the menu’s _hideAnimation function to delay before the menu element slides up. Have a look at the following code snippet.   
   
ej.Menu.prototype._hideAnimation =  function (element, anim) {   
            switch (anim) {   
                case "slideUp":   
                    $(element).attr({ "aria-hidden"true });   
                    element.delay(5000).slideUp(this.model.enableAnimation ? 100 : 0);break;   
                case "none":   
                    element.css("display""none"); break;   
            }   
            element.closest('li').removeClass('e-active e-mfocused');   
        };   
  
   
Note: The duration for delay is given in milliseconds.

Thank you for the reply.

Applying the delay makes the menu to stay for sometime after the timeout. But it has an issue. When we mouse out of one menu to other the previous menu has to disappear immediately. The mouse out delay has to happen only when we move out of  menu control

Please check the attached screenshot.

can we fix this too?

Thanks

Yes, this is also possible. You need to override the menu’s _showAnimation function to hide all the other li elements that are previously show and stop their animation before displaying the next element. Have a look at the following code snippet. 

ej.Menu.prototype._showAnimation = function (element, anim) { 
            switch (anim) { 
                case "slideDown": 
                    element.closest("li").siblings("li").children("ul").css("display", "none"); 
                    element.stop(true, true).slideDown(this.model.enableAnimation ? 200 : 0); break; 
                case "none": 
                    element.css("display", "block"); break; 
            } 
        }; 

Refer to the Playground Sample 

Regards, 
Prince
