How To stop Popup Menu from being closed when i click on ParentBarItem

[Ubaid]

Hi ... Em using XP PopupMenu and i want that it should'nt close when i click on items of type ParentBarItem and DropDownBarItem. Is there any way of doing so ????

I have tried setting up "CloseOnClick=false" on ParentBarItem but it works for its Child items.

Hi Ubaid,

Thank you for your interest in Syncfusion products.

To prevent the PopupMenu from being closed, you can set e.Cancel to true in ParentBarItem PopupClosing event.

I have also attached a sample in the below location.

Kindly let me know if this helps.

Hi jaya ... its not working.

PopupMenu Hierarchy is as follows:

ParentBarItem1
{
BarItem1
BarItem2
ParentBarItem2
{
BarItem3
}
}

Now what i want is that whenever i click on parentBarItem2, context Menu shuld'nt close.

Can you send me a code snippet to fix it??

Hi Ubaid,

Thanks for the update.

Can you please refer the modified sample and let me know if this helps.

In the attached sample, when you click the ParentBarItem2, the subitem 'BarItem3' will not get closed.

If this is not your actual requirement, then please provide me sample or more details on this.

Thanks,

Hi Jaya ... there is a small issue ... the whole menu should close when i click on any of the bar item. In the attached solution, BarItem3 is always visible.

Scenario 1: If i drag mouse over parentBarItem2 and then click on baritem1 or baritem2, baritem3 is still visible, it should close.

Scnario2: If i click on baritem3, whole popup remains visible, it should disappear.

Scenario 3: If i drag mouse over ParentBarItem2 and then over Baritem2, barItem3 remains visible. it should close.

My exact requirement is that popup menu will behave like its default functionality. only when i click on any of the ParentBarItem, there should be no effect like i have never clicked on the ParentBarItem.

I want to copy functionality of Windows Default Context Menu. Just right click on the desktop and see its behavior. When i click on New/Arrange Icons By, there is no effect but when i click on any of the item which does not have subitems, the whole menu closes.

Thanks for your support.

Hi Ubaid,

Thanks for the update.

Syncfusion PopupMenu comprises the behaviour of Windows Context Menu by default. Kindly refer the attached sample in the below link and let me know if this meets your requirement.

http://websamples.syncfusion.com/samples/Tools.Windows/F62082_Modified/main.htm

The attached sample displays PopupMenu on the right click of RichTextBox and meets all scenarios you specified by default.

Kindly let me know if you have any other queries.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi Jaya ... its not working the way windows menu used to be. It should'nt close when i click parentBarItem2.

i think that i have explained the windows functionality quite thoroughly. Please have a look at the sample once again.
