Menu Control9/5/2006 3:56:39 PM

I'm trying to get the selected menu item on the Menu Control to appear in a different colour. I can do it when using a sitemap, but I can't do it when loading the MenuItems directly.

 

Can anyone help? Code follows which is saved in Test2.aspx. Cheers,

How does it know which item is selected? Are you assuming since there is only 1 item it must be selected?

Did you try Selected="true"?

<Items>

<asp:MenuItem NavigateUrl="~/Test2.aspx" Text="Bloody Test" runat="server" Selected="true"/>

</Items>

Hope it helps,

Joe

'Selected' on the Menu control refers to it being the current page... hence it *should* be comparing the current URL with each URL in the menu and then if there is a match then that is the 'selected' menu item - which should then be displayed accordingly.

It works perfectly when using a sitemap, but the Microsoft documentation implies that it should also work when loading the menu items manually.

menu.SelectedItem refers to the item selected by the user and would likely be only useful if the menu is posting back

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.menu.selecteditem.aspx 

I think the SiteMapProvider is setting the .Selected property on the MenuItem during databinding

I don't see anything implying that it should automatically select based on the NavigateUrl, in the example here

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ecs0x9w5.aspx

manually adding items they are not even using the NavigateUrl property 

The SiteMapProvider may be using the NavigateUrl to determine which item to select during data binding but I don't think the Menu control itself will do that.
