Hi there,
I've got a WebDataMenu setup (moving over from ultrawebtoolbar), and I'm having some issues accessing a control (a DropDown List) in my template. My template is defined like this
<ig:ItemTemplate ID="tpDropDown" runat="server" TemplateID="tpDropDown"> <Template> <asp:DropDownList AutoPostBack="true" ID="ddlTBAddNew" runat="server"> <asp:ListItem Value="" Text="Actions.." /> </asp:DropDownList> </Template> </ig:ItemTemplate>
But No matter what I try server-side I cannot acess that ddlTBAddNew
I can get as far as the Template control using mymenu.Templates[0].Template but within that there's no .Controls collection, no .FindControl or any way I can see to access my DropDownList. So how do we access controls in a template please? Calling .FindControl at the Templates[0] level doesn't return anything at all. So I'm at a loss as to what to try next?
If you expect people to upgrade to this control from ultrawebtoolbar, the least you could do is provide some examples & documentation on how to do so!
Thanks in advance

Thank you!
I'm just trying your suggestion out today, one other thing I have noticed though, is if I put a textbox in a template such as this
<ig:DataMenuItem Key="itmQuickFind" Text=" " TemplateId="tmpSearch" ToolTip="Search" Value="*User" CssClass="toolbarText" />
and defined like this
<ig:ItemTemplate ID="tmpSearch" runat="server" TemplateID="tmpSearch"> <Template> <asp:TextBox ID="txtQuickFind" CssClass="toolbarTextBox" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True" /> </Template> </ig:ItemTemplate>
The textbox appears fine on the menu, but it does not seem to keep focus at all, so I can't actually type anything into it?
Please let me know if you need any additional help on this thread.
