Ability to call an action when when MenItem clicked

I am trying to implement a menu bar, however I need the ability for some of the menu items to open a modal window.  I notice that the MenuItem class has a Text and Url property but it doesn't appear to have any event handlers.  Is it possible to specify an action when certain menu items are clicked vs. just navigating to another page?

Hi Dominick, 

Thank you for contacting Syncfusion support. 

We have checked your reported requirement and it can be achievable in Menu by using ItemSelected event as like in the below code example. 

CODE SNIPPETS: 

<EjsMenu Items="@menuItems"> 
    <MenuEvents ItemSelected="onSelect"></MenuEvents> 
</EjsMenu> 
<div id="target"> 
    <EjsDialog @ref="DialogObj" Target="#target" Height="270px" Width="500px" ShowCloseIcon="true" @bind-Visible="@Visibility"> 
        ..// 
    </EjsDialog> 
    </div> 
 
@code{ 
    EjsDialog DialogObj; 
    public bool Visibility { get;set; } = false; 
    private List<MenuItem> menuItems = new List<MenuItem>{ 
            new MenuItem 
            { 
                Text = "File", 
                Items = new List<MenuItem> 
                { 
                    new MenuItem { Text= "Open" },  
                    new MenuItem { Text= "Navigate", Url="counter" },  // Url property, for navigating to counter page. 
                } 
            }, 
             ..// 
    }; 
 
    private void onSelect(MenuEventArgs args) 
    { 
        if (args.Item.Text == "Open")  // To check the selected item text 
            DialogObj.Show();  // To open the modal dialog. 
    } 
    } 

For your convenience, we have prepared the sample based on our requirement. Please find the link below. 


Could you please check the above sample and get back to us, if you need any further assistance on this.

EVERYTHING IS OK BUT I CAN CAPTURE THE ONSELECT TO CLOSE THE SIDEBAR

Thanks for the update. 
 
We have checked your query. We suspect that this issue occurred due to giving custom type while using self-referential data structure. In self-referential item defining method we have used strongly typed value MenuItemModel to populate submenu items. So, we can resolve this issue by providing strongly typed value MenuItemModel as TValue in MenuEvents and in arguments. Please refer the below code snippet. 
 
Index.razor 
 
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Navigations 
 
<SfMenu CssClass="dock-menu" 
        Items="@menuItems" 
        Orientation="Orientation.Vertical" 
        ShowItemOnClick="true" 
        EnablePersistence="true" 
        TValue="DataModel"> 
    <MenuEvents ItemSelected="Select" 
                TValue="MenuItemModel"> 
    </MenuEvents> 
</SfMenu> 
@code { 
    public bool SidebarToggle = false; 
 
    private void Select(MenuEventArgs<MenuItemModel> args) 
    { 
        //Your code here. 
    } 
 
    public class DataModel 
    { 
        public string Id { get; set; } 
        public string Text { get; set; } 
        public string IconCss { get; set; } 
        public string Url { get; set; } 
        public string ParentId { get; set; } 
    } 
    private List<DataModel> menuItems = new List<DataModel>(); 
 
 
    protected override void OnInitialized() 
    { 
        base.OnInitialized(); 
        menuItems.Add(new DataModel 
        { 
            Id = "01", 
            Text = "One", 
            IconCss = "fas fa-file-word" 
        }); 
        menuItems.Add(new DataModel 
        { 
            Id = "0101", 
            Text = "Two", 
            IconCss = "fas fa-file-word", 
            Url = "admarticles", 
            ParentId = "01" 
        }); 
        menuItems.Add(new DataModel 
        { 
            Id = "0102", 
            Text = "Three", 
            IconCss = "fas fa-plus-square", 
            Url = "admarticlesdetail/0", 
            ParentId = "01" 
        }); 
        menuItems.Add(new DataModel 
        { 
            Id = "02", 
            Text = "Four", 
            IconCss = "fas fa-map-marker-alt" 
        }); 
    } 
}

Hi SyncFusion Team,

MenuEvents is an amazing tool. I just wanted to appreciate it. It reduced the usage of javascript.
