Adding a Menu Item

This topic demonstrates how to create a menu item using code.

1. Add a PlaceHolder control to the web page.

2. Import the C1.Web.Command namespace to your source code.

Imports C1.Web.Command

· C#

using C1.Web.Command;

uses C1.Web.Command;

3. Enter the following code in the Page_Load procedure to create a new menu item:

Dim menu As New C1WebMenu()

· C#

C1WebMenu menu = new C1WebMenu();

var

menu: C1WebMenu;

begin

item:= C1WebMenu.Create;

4. Add the C1WebMenu to the PlaceHolder control so it appears once you run the web page.

PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(menu)

· C#

PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(menu);

PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(menu);

5. Add the new item to C1WebMenu. Also add its text and url through the Text and NavigateUrl property. Enter the following code:

Menu.Items.Add(New C1WebMenuItem("ComponentOne", "http://www.ComponentOne.com"))

· C#

Menu.Items.Add(new C1WebMenuItem("ComponentOne", "http://www.ComponentOne.com"));

Menu.Items.Add(new C1WebMenuItem('ComponentOne', 'http://www.ComponentOne.com'));

6. Save and run your web application. You'll have a single menu item that appears like this:

Note: When you click on the menu item, the NavigateUrl property takes you to ComponentOne's web site.
