this is just a basic menu that I attach to a dynamically populated div. The div changes background-color on its mouseover event and I used the contextmenuhide event to change the class of the div back to a white background-color for the div.

it was working fine before, but when I changed it to CA 2009.1.. wierd enough it stopped working... the contextmenuhide stopped working

<code>
<ComponentArt:Menu id="divSectionMenu"
Orientation="Vertical"
ContextMenu="Custom"
DefaultGroupCssClass="MenuGroup"
SiteMapXmlFile="~/AuthoringSectionMenuFile.xml"
DefaultItemLookID="DefaultItemLook"
DefaultGroupItemSpacing="1"
ImagesBaseUrl="images/"
EnableViewState="false"
ExpandDelay="200"
runat="server">
<ClientEvents>
<ContextMenuHide EventHandler="tempFunction" />
<ItemSelect EventHandler="divSectionMenu_OnItemSelect" />
</ClientEvents>
<ItemLooks>
<ComponentArt:ItemLook LookID="DefaultItemLook" CssClass="MenuItem" HoverCssClass="MenuItemHover" ExpandedCssClass="MenuItemHover" LabelPaddingLeft="10" LabelPaddingRight="10" LabelPaddingTop="3" LabelPaddingBottom="4" />
<ComponentArt:ItemLook LookID="BreakItem" CssClass="MenuBreak" />
</ItemLooks>
</ComponentArt:Menu>

<script type="text/javascript">
function tempFunction()
{
//change the div background
if (divHighlighted != "")
OnMouseOut(document.getElementById(divHighlighted));
/*OnMouseOut is my method that changes the className of the div
does a little cleaning up work etc.. etc..*/
}
</script>

</code>

it's as simple as that.. I even changed the function to just do a simple alert("Hello world"). it wouldn't even work.. anobody have a clue on this?

i can only say it does not work for me either!
i've got the new beta release...
the contextmenushow event works fine.

i'm working with showContextMenuAtEvent()

got a temporary fix for it.. I used the "GroupCollapseBegin" event instead of the ContextMenuHide. though it might not be the perfect fix but for now it's all that I was able to come up with.

a statement of the component art team would be nice...

I'm having this problem too,  the

 

<ContextMenuHide EventHandler="Menu1_onContextMenuHide" /> 

is not firing -

Did this get resolved?  Or does anyone have a hack?

 

Hi,

 

This is verified as currently working in 2008.2.1202, 2009.1.2002, and 2009.2.1509.

 

I'm including my working sample.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Cheers,

Thanks!   I upgraded to 2009.2.1509 and it still isn't working.  I've cleared out the cache, I've tried adding the handler a couple different ways by:

 

<ContextMenuHide EventHandler="Menu1_onContextMenuHide" />

and also by:

function Menu1_onContextMenuHide(sender, eventArgs)
{
  alert('Hi');
}

function Menu1_onLoad(sender, eventArgs)
{
    Menu1.add_contextMenuHide(Menu1_onContextMenuHide);
}

 

...just to clarify - this should be called whenever the menus visibility disappears right?  Its a context menu.

 

Hi,

 

Have you tried my sample?

 

Cheers,

It works in your sample but not my app.  Is there anything I can look at debugging to the javascript to check to see where it is choking?  Or any thoughts on any other javascript  that could interfere with this?  Perhaps some of other javavascript events on the page?   Here is my code:

function Menu_onHide(sender, e)
          {
              alert(123);
          }


<ComponentArt:Menu id="Menu1"
                          Orientation="Vertical"
                          ContextMenu="Custom"
                          DefaultGroupCssClass="MenuGroup"
                          SiteMapXmlFile="~/_common/xmlMenus/DynamicScheduleHoverMenu.xml"
                          DefaultItemLookID="DefaultItemLook"
                          DefaultGroupItemSpacing="1"
                          ImagesBaseUrl="~/_images/HoverMenu/"
                          EnableViewState="false"
                          ExpandTransition="Fade"
                          CollapseTransition="Fade"
                          HoverCssClass="HoverStyle"
                          ExpandDelay="200"
                          TopGroupExpandOffsetY="10"
                          runat="server">
                        <ClientEvents>
                          <ItemSelect EventHandler="Menu1_onItemSelect" />
                          <Load EventHandler="Menu1_onLoad" />
                          <ContextMenuHide EventHandler="Menu_onHide" />
                        </ClientEvents>
                        <ItemLooks>
                          <ComponentArt:ItemLook LookID="DefaultItemLook" CssClass="MenuItem" HoverCssClass="MenuItemHover" ExpandedCssClass="MenuItemHover" LeftIconWidth="20" LeftIconHeight="18" LabelPaddingLeft="10" LabelPaddingRight="10" LabelPaddingTop="3" LabelPaddingBottom="4" />
                          <ComponentArt:ItemLook LookID="BreakItem" CssClass="MenuBreak" />
                        </ItemLooks>
                            <ServerTemplates>
                              <ComponentArt:NavigationCustomTemplate id="AddShift">
                                <Template>
                                   Hola!
                                </Template>
                              </ComponentArt:NavigationCustomTemplate>

                              <ComponentArt:NavigationCustomTemplate id="AddProfessional">
                                <Template>
                                    Hi There.
                                </Template>
                              </ComponentArt:NavigationCustomTemplate>
                            </ServerTemplates>
                        </ComponentArt:Menu>

Any suggestions on how I can debug this? - I'm really digging in and comparing the working sample against my app.

I found the problem - the onMenuHide event does not fire when you display the menu by Menu1.showContextMenuAtEvent

... I changed it to open the menu as in your demo Menu1..showContextMenu(e);  and it worked.

Excellent, I'm glad this is working now.

 

Cheers,

what about showContextMenuAtEvent()?

The event ContextMenuHide is only working when using ShowContextMenu but when using any other way to show the control like showContextMenuAtPoint or showContextMenuAtEvent the event does not fire.
Is there any solution for this problem cause i'm trying to open my context menu in a spesific position and i can not do that using the ShowContextMenu option.
