Excellent job, Scott.

The next step would be to get all the MS Starter Kits
menu functionality into your skmMenu.
I wonder, how would respected Linux folks criticize
the kinda open source?

Mike.

Just wanted to give you an atta-boy. This menu just keeps getting better and better.

What I have done for my own menu control, is adding an OnMenuItemAdd event... that's the way I used to costumize the items that should be displayed or not...

Great! The earlier version of the menu has worked very well, and I'm anxious to work with the newest version with role support. As you say, it is possible to do all that in code, which I did with four roles and a fairly simple menu structure. In my case, some people get multiple roles out of the basic four, and a drop-down out of the menu allows them to select their menu view. My rather unlearned users have picked that up well.

Thanks for the great work.

Great menu. I have a question. How could I highlight the current menu item. E.g. there are 3 menu item, "home","menu1","menu2". Suppose I am on menu1 page, how could I make the menu highlighted on menu1?

thanks and again, you did a great job.

Hi

I m Sébastien Pertus, Developer in ASP.Net
I m frensch, so excuse me for my poor english :)

I have a problem with SKmMenu.
I have a Menu with sub items. My Menu contains items from a database (not an xml file)
The layout is Vertical

I have a problem with rollover mouse.
When a subitems desapears, a part of the menu desapears too ... I dont know why ?
You can see it here : http://cmw.esquif.net/Minotaure/default.aspx

i go to menu named "Gallerie" or "Les Listes" or "Liens". after i go to a sub menu ("Gallerie" -> "TOA" for example) I DONT CLICK on the submenu, when the sub menu desappears, a part of the root menu desappears too ... I dont know why ?

In my code, i just do this (summary):

Dim myurl, mytexturl As String
Dim myMenuItem As skmMenu.MenuItem
Dim mySubMenuItem As skmMenu.MenuItem

Menu1.Items.Clear()
Menu1.Layout = skmMenu.MenuLayout.Vertical
Menu1.HighlightTopMenu = False
' I tryed Menu1.HighlightTopMenu = true. Result is same
Menu1.Opacity = 75
Menu1.zIndex = 100
Menu1.Cursor = skmMenu.MouseCursor.Pointer


For Each dr In dtab.Rows

myurl = dr.Item("CAT_url")
mytexturl = dr.Item("CAT_titre")

myMenuItem = New skmMenu.MenuItem(mytexturl, myurl)

If Not CType(dr.Item("CAT_parentID"), Int32) = -1 Then
mydv = New DataView(dtab, "CAT_parentID = " & dr.Item("PK_CAT_id"), "CAT_order asc", DataViewRowState.CurrentRows)

For Each o In mydv
myurl = dr.Item("CAT_url")
mytexturl = o.Item("CAT_titre")
mySubMenuItem = New skmMenu.MenuItem(mytexturl, myurl)
myMenuItem.SubItems.Add(mySubMenuItem)

Next
End If

Menu1.Items.Add(myMenuItem)


End If
End If
Next


Dunno what to do :)

thanks for your answer :)

# Help with User Role Menu 9/27/2004 3:04 AM Patrick

Hi Scott,
I would like to use the User Role Menu.
I have looked through ur example but what i want to do is populate a menu in XML depending on the user that logged in on the system.
Can you give me more ideas on how to do this.
Thanks alot
ige@email.com

I suggest you don't get TOO excited about this release just yet.

If Smart Nav is ON, it CRASHES IE. See the workspaces bugs list.

# re: skmMenu 2.2 Released 11/3/2004 2:23 AM BMaher

Hi,
After binding the skmMenu control, is it possible to add in another menu item through code ?
I tried this and it didn't work

Menu1.DataBind()
Dim mnuHelp As New skmMenu.MenuItem("Help")
Menu1.Items.Add(mnuHelp)

Any suggestions ?

# Dynamic Menu 12/17/2004 7:07 PM Venkatesh Natarajan

How do i specify user roles when dynamically generating menus ? In this case i am not using XML, i am using data from database and dynamically building the menu items.

Please do let me know

# Dynamic Menu 12/17/2004 9:18 PM Venkatesh Natarajan

How do you add role to the submenu item ?

Dim submenu1 As New skmMenu.MenuItem("<img src=""menublip.gif"" align=""absmiddle"">Dynamic Item 1", "")
submenu1.SubItems.Add(New skmMenu.MenuItem("Sub Item 1", "page1.html"))
submenu1.SubItems.Add(New skmMenu.MenuItem("Sub Item 2", "page2.html"))
submenu1.Roles.Add("Manager")

in the above code, the last line adds role to the submenu1. However i want to add role to the "sub item 1". How can i do this ?

Any suggestions ?

Hi,
I will use your skmMenu control in the application that I work on at this time. Thing is the control does not support '~/' application root or navigation (back and forth) to the directory within app.
e.g.
<menuItem>
<image>images/btn_pmt.gif</image> <mouseoverimage>images/btn_pmt_over.gif</mouseoverimage>
<url>DLtest/</url>
</menuItem>

When I use same menu from the DLtest.aspx application crashes.
Any suggestions? What can I do?
Thanks

Hi, I am thrilled to learn skmMenu and its powerful and yet simpler way to give control on menu structure.
However, for some reason, I dont see the menu at all when I browse under IE 6.0 !
I dont understand where the problem is. I use the newest Visual Studio 2005.

I appreciate your great work; Thanks in advance for your reply.

Can anyone email me example of pulling from db (SQL) - perf. in c# to: Tbaseflug@msn.com

# re: skmMenu 2.2 Released 11/22/2005 2:49 PM Dev

Scott...

First of all, thanks for developing this control... Its cool!!!

I have a small issue when implementing the control. I'm using this as a Vertical Menu control, where the Menu items gets hidden behind an HTML Table (just below the control)with images/.NET controls like dropdown lists. Is there a way for me to not hide the menu item??

Thanks
Dev

# re: skmMenu 2.2 Released 1/5/2006 1:32 PM Mohamed Aourik

Hi,

@Pertus Sébastien

Use position:absolute; in your menustyle:

like:
.menustyle
{
background-color:white;border:1px;border-style:solid;border-color:Gray;
position:absolute;
}

This will fix the vertical layout problem.
I ran into the same.

Wouter

# Vertical layout problem 3/2/2008 11:22 AM Wouter Spelt

Instead of position:absolute
try not to use the Opacity property on the menu.

This works better.
Cheers
