Hovering over one MenuItemAdv enables others.

From attached picture below, Power Off is not enabled when program starts. For some reason if I hover over "Search for Devices," Power Off becomes enabled even though no code is executed on my end. How can I fix this?

Hi Caleb Kliewer, 
 
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 
 
We have checked your query “Disabled MenuItem is enabled automatically while hovering other menuItem in MenuAdv control” and it is working as expected at our end. We have attached the sample in which we have tried to reproduce the issue. In this sample we have bound a collection of Item to the MenuAdv control and updated the IsEnabled property of the MenuItem through IsEnabled property of Model.cs class. Please check the below sample and let us know whether we have missed anything to replicate your scenario. You can download the sample from below location, 
 
 
Also we have prepared sample which tries to reproduce the issue by adding direct MenuItems to the MenuAdv control,                                                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                               
 
If we have misunderstood your query please get back to us with more details like sample or modify the above sample to reproduce the issue. 
 
Regards, 
Mallika

I have got that same problem. I want to dynamically change IsEnabled property of MenuItemAdv from ViewModel. In my case, three items are disabled and one item is enabled. When I hover mouse cursor on enabled MenuItemAdv other items also changing state from disabled to enabled. How to fix it?


VR Vijayalakshmi Roopkumar Syncfusion Team January 4, 2021 01:08 PM UTC

Hi Radoslaw 
 
Thank you for using our Syncfusion Products. 
 
As we are unable to reproduce this behavior using the simple scenario and also using ViewModel property as per our previous update, could you please provide us the code related to IsEnabled property with MenuAdv and MenuItemAdv. It would be helpful for us to check and provide you the details accordingly. 
 
Please let us know if you have any other concerns. 
 
Regards, 
Vijayalakshmi VR 


DW Declan Walsh October 15, 2021 01:38 AM UTC

I'm also experiencing this problem.

It works as expected if I change out the <syncfusion:MenuItemAdv> for a standard <MenuItem>.


DataConext is the ViewModel.


This does not work and behaves as described by OP:

<syncfusion:MenuItemAdv Header="_File">

                    <syncfusion:MenuItemAdv Header="_Open..." MinWidth="150" Command="{Binding CommandOpenCal}"/>
                    <syncfusion:MenuItemAdv Header="_Save" Icon="" IsEnabled="{Binding CalFileIsOpen, FallbackValue=False}" Command="{Binding CommandSaveCal}"/>
                    <syncfusion:MenuItemAdv Header="Save _As..." IsEnabled="{Binding CalFileIsOpen, FallbackValue=False}" Command="{Binding CommandSaveCalAs}"/>
                    <syncfusion:MenuItemSeparator/>
                    <syncfusion:MenuItemAdv Header="_Close" IsEnabled="{Binding CalFileIsOpen, FallbackValue=False, NotifyOnSourceUpdated=True}" Command="{Binding CommandCloseCal}"/>
                    <syncfusion:MenuItemSeparator/>
                    <syncfusion:MenuItemAdv Header="_Options..." Command="{Binding CommandOptions}"/>
                    <syncfusion:MenuItemSeparator/>
                    <syncfusion:MenuItemAdv Header="E_xit" Command="{Binding CommandExitApp}"/>
                </syncfusion:MenuItemAdv>


This Works no problem:

<MenuItem Header="_File">
                    <MenuItem Header="_Open..." MinWidth="150" Command="{Binding CommandOpenCal}"/>
                    <MenuItem Header="_Save" Icon="" IsEnabled="{Binding CalFileIsOpen, FallbackValue=False}" Command="{Binding CommandSaveCal}"/>
                    <MenuItem Header="Save _As..." IsEnabled="{Binding CalFileIsOpen, FallbackValue=False}" Command="{Binding CommandSaveCalAs}"/>
                    <Separator/>
                    <MenuItem Header="_Close" IsEnabled="{Binding CalFileIsOpen, FallbackValue=False, NotifyOnSourceUpdated=True}" Command="{Binding CommandCloseCal}"/>
                    <Separator/>
                    <MenuItem Header="_Options..." Command="{Binding CommandOptions}"/>
                    <Separator/>
                    <MenuItem Header="E_xit" Command="{Binding CommandExitApp}"/>
                </MenuItem>

DW Declan Walsh October 30, 2021 08:12 AM UTC

Hi,

Thanks for the update.

The patch has solved the item's enabling themselves on hover, however they are not changing back to disabled when the bound bool changes back to disabled.


The IsEnabled binding only seems to work once.


Once again, changing out the MenuItemAdv for a MS Menu solves the problem.

FS Fanourios Siskakis April 14, 2022 09:08 PM UTC

This issue keeps persisting. Setting a bound property in the ViewModel to false, will not trigger the menu to be disabled.

The code is taken exactly from your tutorials, with the only addition the extra HasPermissions property.

<syncfusion:MenuAdv.ItemContainerStyle>

                    <Style BasedOn="{StaticResource {x:Type syncfusion:MenuItemAdv}}" TargetType="{x:Type syncfusion:MenuItemAdv}">

                        <Setter Property="Icon" Value="{Binding ImagePath}" />

                        <Setter Property="InputGestureText" Value="{Binding GestureText}" />

                        <Setter Property="Command" Value="{Binding MenuItemClicked}" />

                        <Setter Property="CommandParameter" Value="{Binding MenuItemName}" />

                        <Setter Property="IsCheckable" Value="{Binding IsCheckable}" />

                        <Setter Property="CheckIconType" Value="{Binding CheckIconType}" />

                        <Setter Property="IsEnabled" Value="{Binding HasPermissions}" />

                        <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0,0,10,0" />

                        <Setter Property="FontSize" Value="17" />

                    </Style>

                </syncfusion:MenuAdv.ItemContainerStyle>

I use the nuget Version for => Syncfusion.Shared.WPF 19.4.0.56

I think this repetitive issue is getting out of hand, with the repetitive bugs, dont you think :)?

If the above IsEnabled property is set manually to false, the all the menu items are correctly (although hardcoded) disabled

-EDIT #1: are you sure the patch is updated through the newer versions? I have the 20.1.0.51 and it still doesnt seem to work...
-EDIT #2: Same thing with the newest version from today, 20.1.0.52, this issue still exists

Could you please check this?


DW Declan Walsh May 3, 2022 04:06 PM UTC

20.1.0.52: The menu no longer reacts to any kind of enable binding now. It's even more useless.

could you please check this bug and finally correct this?

this is not a nice thing to see...

So, just to be clear, after 13. May, this fix is supposed to be in the latest nuget versions, right?
Because as we reported above, the latest nuget versions are not getting updated with the fixes you mentioned.


Could you please report on this thread, whenever the latest nuget Version is updated with this fix, in order for us to test it?

That would be helpful.

Thanks a lot

FS Fanourios Siskakis May 13, 2022 09:36 AM UTC

So, i saw that a new nuget Version is added, 20.1.0.55.
Are we to assume that you fixed the above problem in this version?

It would not be nice to update, test the whole thing again and see that it doesnt work again...


FS Fanourios Siskakis May 15, 2022 05:18 PM UTC

Hello again, The IsEnabled binding doesnt work once again... (version 20.1.0.55 )
this is getting in my nerves you know?? You are confirming that your changes are tested, are in the latest nuget packages, but they dont seem to work...

What kind of quality assurnanse do you have over there?? For real now... It is not enough that such easy things are still buggy in your software, you fail to correct them after aaaaall this time...

I should not mention all the emails "proposing" us to get the paid version instead of the free one...


What are you going to do about that???


SA Sulthan Amanu Syncfusion Team May 16, 2022 01:10 PM UTC

Hi Fanourios,


We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.


We are unable to reproduce the reported issue at our end with the most recent version (20.1.0.55). We have attached the tested sample and video for your reference. Could you please check again with the latest version of the NuGet by clearing the cache as per the instructions below?

FS Fanourios Siskakis May 16, 2022 10:20 PM UTC

Well, after a lot of debugging, how on earth it works on your project with the same code as mine, figured it out.


First of all, i apologize, you fixed indeed the original Problem. I am sorry about my comments...
Secondly, the problem in my solution is that i also have set a command on that enabled/disabled Menu. And somehow the command overrides the IsEnabled property, since i guess it is executed in a later time.

Wouldn't it be more correct to first check the IsEnabled (since this is specifically set in the root of the Element and has bigger priority) and then if IsEnabled check the CanExecute of the command.

I think that would be the correct logic behind it.


With regards

Fanourios Siskakis


SA Sulthan Amanu Syncfusion Team May 17, 2022 11:05 AM UTC

If i understand you correctly, you will not change the logic behind the simultaneous Command + IsEnabled attributes, right?


Fanouris


SA Sulthan Amanu Syncfusion Team May 19, 2022 03:22 AM UTC

Hi Fanouris,


We will validate the query and update the complete details in two business days(20th May 2022).


Regards,

Sulthan Amanu


SA Sulthan Amanu Syncfusion Team May 22, 2022 07:04 AM UTC

Hi Fanouris,

Sorry for the miscommunication in the precious updates.


The investigation with framework control confirms that it does not execute the command when IsEnabled is false. However, when IsEnabled is true, command is executing and the UI is enabled/disabled based on the return value of CanExecute method.


Could you please confirm that you are expecting the same behaviour for the Syncfusion control? Based on your confirmation, we will check and update the possibilities of your requirement.


Regards,

Sulthan Amanu
