Hi,

There is a long answer for that:

http://www.essentialobjects.com/ViewDoc.aspx?t=MenuCommon%2fLookSkinAndTheme%2fLookSkinTheme.html

How TreeView applies style is much more complicated (and yet very powerful) than what may appear on the surface. You will also want to go over topics under "Style and Appearance". Once you read those you can try change various properties on the TreeView to see how they work.

Thanks

Hi,

All our navigation controls applies styles the same way. The only difference between slide menu and TreeView is, when a top level item is expanded, it automatically enters "selected" state. For this reason, slide menu almost always make use of _TopLevelItem. Still, even TreeView can make use of _TopLevelItem, it just doesn't use it often.

Thanks

Then most likely you didn't even select the item at all. While the TreeView automatically select a node when the node is clicked, a SlideMenu is purely used for navigation purpose and it does not automatically select on click by default. When you click a slide menu item, it navigates you to NavigateUrl or raises a server event and that would be the end of it.

If you use NavigateUrl, you can make AutoSelectSource to automatically select the item for you. Otherwise you will need to select the item by yourself, either on the server side or on the client side. On the server side is easy, on the client side you can handle ClientSideOnItemClick:

Code: JavaScript
var g_lastSelectedItem = null;

function on_slide_menu_click(e, info)
{
    if (g_lastSelectedItem)
        g_lastSelectedItem.setSelected(false);

    var item = info.getItem();
    if (item.getLevel() == 0)
        return;

    g_lastSelectedItem = item;
    g_lastSelectedItem.setSelected(true);
}
