I have downloaded your menu control and set it up to try and use it in a very basic way. I have selected one of the (free?!??!) styles, have not altered anything, have created a basic menu only 2 levels deep but when I run the project I get a message in IE. saying I need a licence?

Is there something I have to do to stop this?

Regards
Bradley

Hi Bradley,

Thanks for posting your message here. Did you use HTML text in your menu item? If you can post your menu definition here, we will take a look and see what triggered the license message -- or whether the license message should be triggered at all.

Thanks

Bradley

Hi, thanks for the prompt response. Here is the code for the menu I have put together.

<eo:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" ControlSkinID="MSDN" Width="60%" >
<TopGroup>
<Items>
<eo:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/Content.aspx" Text-Html="Home" HoverStyle-CssClass="menu_toplevel_holder" Width="100">
</eo:MenuItem>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="About Us" Width="100">
<SubMenu>
<Items>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Vision & Mission" NavigateUrl="~/AboutUs/VisionAndMission.aspx">
</eo:MenuItem>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Our People" NavigateUrl="~/AboutUs/OurPeople.aspx">
</eo:MenuItem>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Press Room" NavigateUrl="~/AboutUs/PressRoom.aspx">
</eo:MenuItem>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Contact Us" NavigateUrl="~/AboutUs/ContactUs.aspx">
</eo:MenuItem>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Find Us" NavigateUrl="~/AboutUs/FindUs.aspx">
</eo:MenuItem>
</Items>
</SubMenu>
</eo:MenuItem>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Solutions" Width="100">
<SubMenu>
<Items>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Consulting">
<SubMenu>
<Items>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Change Management">
</eo:MenuItem>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Strategy Management">
</eo:MenuItem>
</Items>
</SubMenu>
</eo:MenuItem>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Technology" NavigateUrl="~/Solutions/Technology/Technology.aspx">
</eo:MenuItem>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Learning">
</eo:MenuItem>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Outsourcing">
</eo:MenuItem>
</Items>
</SubMenu>
</eo:MenuItem>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Methodologies" Width="100" NavigateUrl="~/Methdologies/Methodologies.aspx">
</eo:MenuItem>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Clients" Width="100">
<SubMenu>
<Items>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Mining" NavigateUrl="~/Clients/MiningClients.aspx">
</eo:MenuItem>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Financial Services" NavigateUrl="~/Clients/MiningClients.aspx">
</eo:MenuItem>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Energy" NavigateUrl="~/Clients/Energy.aspx">
</eo:MenuItem>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Public Sector">
</eo:MenuItem>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Manufacturing">
</eo:MenuItem>
</Items>
</SubMenu>
</eo:MenuItem>
<eo:MenuItem Text-Html="Careers">
</eo:MenuItem>
</Items>
</TopGroup>
</eo:Menu>

The 'Change Management' and 'Strategy Management' menus are at the 3rd level. I would be greatful if you could let me know what could have triggered the licence message.

Regards
Bradley

Hi Bradley,

Try to remove HoverStyle-CssClass="menu_toplevel_holder" in the following item:

Code: HTML/ASPX

Copy

<eo:MenuItem 
    NavigateUrl="~/Content.aspx" 
    Text-Html="Home" 
    HoverStyle-CssClass="menu_toplevel_holder" 
    Width="100">

If you would like to customize the top level's background as a whole, you can do it on the HTML elements that holds the menu. But if you do it on the menu itself, it would trigger the license message.

Thanks

Bradley

Hi Gradley,

Sorry about the delay. We looked into the issue and see the license message is triggered by the Width property on the MenuItem. So you will want to remove those. If you want the menu item to evenly spread out, you can set TopLevelAlign to "None". That should give you similar result.

Thanks

Bradley
