I was wondering if there was an example of the Menu Control that has the Border Images set to use on the sub menus? I would like to format the sub menu's to use the topLeftCorner TopRightCorner etc. Is this possible?

Hi,

You can not do that with BorderImages. BorderImages are applied on the control only. In order have special borders on the sub menu, you would usually have two special image items, one as the first item and one as the last item to create the corners for the sub menu. See here for a working example of this approach:

Thanks!

Ok I am almost there then... Is there a compliment to the SideImage Submenu property that would effect the right side? I can use the image that I have to complete the left side of the box with the SideImage property so now I have one open side. Thoughts?

Hi,

Unfortunately there isn't anything like that. You can apply a background image on the menu items and align the image to the right side (you will need to do this with CSS) to create your right side edge. You will then use SideImage to create the left side edge. When you create right edge this way you will need to set ItemSpacing to 0, because otherwise there will be gaps between each item.

Thanks!
