I tried playing around with the menu in order to have the submenu expand horizontally as shown below but couldn't get it working. In this sample what appears it in the 2nd line should expand horizontally, I tried to set the Expand direction to BottomRight but it didn't work as expected.

Hi, It has nothing to do with ExpandDirection. You should use MenuGroup.Orientation property. See here for an example: http://www.essentialobjects.com/Demo/Default.aspx?path=Menu\_i0\_i5Thanks

That wasn't my smartest question, was it ? :-( Anyway. I guess there is also a sample showing how to achieve what I want but where ? I set up the KeepExpandedOnClick=True hoping that when clicking the on the link it would keep the menu open with the style I choose for the Selected menu. I am missing something but what ?
Code:
<eo:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" Width="600px" ControlSkinID="Style1" KeepExpandedOnClick="True" SaveStateCrossPages="True">
<TopGroup Orientation="Horizontal" Style-CssText="border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-top-width:0px;"><Items>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Aurelys">
<SubMenu KeepExpandedOnClick="True" Orientation="Horizontal"><Items>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Notre approche" NavigateUrl="Approche.aspx"></eo:MenuItem>

Hi,
KeepExpandedOnClick won't work when you use NavigateUrl --- in which case the browser switches to a totally new page --- even if the page has the same menu, it's a brand new menu.
Thanks

So which option should I use instead of NavigateUrl to make KeepExpandedOnClick work ?

You can't as long as you want to use multiple pages. The real restriction is not NavigateUrl, the real restriction is that you are using multiple pages. Since it won't be easy for you to change that, so probably the best option for you is to forget about KeepExpandedOnClick. :)

Ok I'll give it a miss for this time.
Is there any sample showing the possible use of the KeepExpandedOnClick ?

Here you go: http://www.essentialobjects.com/Demo/Default.aspx?path=Menu\_i1\_i0The sample does not navigate to any other page, that is necessary for KeepExpandedOnClick works. So basically if you want to use KeepExpandedOnClick, your menu would be used for some other purpose other than page navigation. For example, people have been using it with Google map and adding a pin to the map is a great scenario where KeepExpandedOnClick would work perfectly. Thanks
