ComponentOne Menu for ASP.NET AJAX: Menu Behavior > Menu Navigation and Shortcuts

Menu Navigation and Shortcuts

The two common approaches for navigating menu systems are:

      Point and click using the mouse

      Arrow keys using the keyboard

Mouse Navigation

When the user clicks a menu item, the Menu control can either navigate to a linked Web page or simply post back to the server. If the NavigateUrl property of a menu item is set, the Menu control navigates to the linked page; otherwise, it posts the page back to the server for processing. By default, a linked page is displayed in the same window or frame as the Menu control. To display the linked content in a different window or frame, use the Target property of the Menu control.

Keyboard Navigation

C1Menu supports access keys to enhance the user’s navigation of your menu items. Access keys are used for navigating through the menu and typically use the ALT key plus the specified key.

You can add access keys to any of the menu items and submenu items using the AccessKey property. One character should be used when you assign access keys to menu items.
