Hi,

I have a new client (who will be purchasing a license from you) that has a requirement for a menu structure similar to below:

Code:
Inventory
   Sub Menu 1
          Item 1
          Item 2
          ....
   Sub Menu 2
          Item 1
          Item 2
          ....

The navigation is implemented on a master page where I am using a table and I have placed the slide menu control in the left cell and the content is in the right cell. The problem I am experiencing is that when I click on the second level (i.e. Sub Menu 1) it does not open. When in the builder using the Preview tabe it appears to work fine.

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

Gary

Hi,

I am not sure whether I get your question correctly. For SlideMenu, it only expand/collpase top level items. In this case, your "Inventory". If your Menu structure is like this:

Code:
Inventory
   Sub Menu 1
          Item 1
          Item 2
          ....
   Sub Menu 2
          Item 1
          Item 2
          ....

Orders
   Sub Menu X
          Item a
          Item b


Then clicking Inventory will expand sub menu for Inventory, clicking Orders will expand sub menu for Orders. The behavior for a slide menu can be summarized as:

1. Top level items expand/collapse a sliding pane;
2. Second level items appear inside the sliding panes;
3. Third level and on are displayed as popup menu;

If you wish all level to be sliding panes, you can use a TreeView control instead of a SlideMenu control. You can customize the appearance of a TreeView to look very much like a SlideMenu. The difference is TreeView never displays a popup menu, all levels are expandable/collapsible.

Hope this helps. Please feel free to let us know if you have any more questions.

Thanks!
