OnClientItemClosing

The OnClientItemClosing client-side event occurs when the menu item is about to contract, hiding its child items.

The event handler receives two parameters:

1. The instance of the menu firing the event.

2. An eventArgs parameter containing the following methods:

• get_item returns a reference to the RadMenuItem that is about to close.

• set_cancel lets you prevent the menu item from closing.

• get_cancel returns a boolean value indicating whether the menu item will close after the event handler exits.

• get_domEvent returns a reference to the DOM event that caused the closing.

You can use this event to control when menu items can contract, or reset the child items to a known state as the menu closes:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function ItemClosing(menu, args) {
        var status = $get("hdCurrentStatus");
        var item = args.get_item();
        if (status.value == "")
            args.set_cancel(true);    
 }
</script>

<telerik:RadMenu RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadMenu1" runat="server" Flow="Horizontal" OnClientItemClosing="ItemClosing">
    <Items>
        ...
    </Items>
</telerik:RadMenu>
<input type="hidden" id="hdCurrentStatus" />
