How would I get the actively or just clicked menu item on the server.
From the MenuItemClicked event, it is easy to check the WebMenuItemEventArgs.Item property. However, I need to get it from a different event.
In my case, its when a UltraWebGrid RowBatch event has fired. In certain cases we want the rowbatch event to abort. For instance, if the user clicks File->Cancel in the UltraWebMenu, the RowBatch events will fire and we want to check to see which Item was selected so we can abort the process.
How can I get the currently selected item in the UltraWebMenu.
I tried setting it from the clientside events and storing it in a hidden field. But the hidden field isn't getting the value I assign it before the grids RowBatch events are fired.
If I could just access the selected item in the UltraWebMenu???
I don't know if this would work, but I would try handling the MenuItemClicked event, and saving the menu item's key in ViewState, for future reference.
Initially, I thought you meant MenuItemClicked client-side event. Meaning, in clientside event, put it in viewstate. After researching this I see its not possible. Then I read over your post again and you mean MenuItemClicked Server-Side event. At this point, it is to late as the grids batch update methods have already been fired.
We even tried putting it in a hidden field (setting hidden field in client-side menu event) but the hidden field hasn't yet been populated when the Batch Update/Delete are fired. One would think all control viewstate would of been binded back to the control?
I thought about trying to set a grid property with the selected menu item but can't find a property I can set using CSOM. Their is a grid.bands.tag that would be perfect but I can't figure out how to set it in CSOM.
So it comes down to, if there was just a way on the server to get the currently selected menu item. Isn't there any property in the Menu that specifies which Item is active or selected?
