Thread Safety

Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.

Remarks

A Menu control represents the container for the hierarchical structure used to navigate a web site. It is composed of MenuItem objects that represent a group of individual navigation items in the hierarchical structure.

Note    For applications that will have support for multiple languages, you can use the RightToLeft property to display the text of the menu from right to left to support languages such as Arabic.

There are several ways to create a menu:

• During design time, use menu builder to create a static menu.
• During run time, use API to dynamically create or modify a menu.
• During run time, use data binding to dynamically create a menu.

EO.Web menu also supports fully customizable styles, such as image-only item, custom item, item with LeftIcon and RightIcon, menu skin and page theme.

The code below demonstrates how to dynamically create a menu via API:

[C#] 
//Create a Menu object
EO.Web.Menu menu = new EO.Web.Menu();

//Create a MenuItem object
EO.Web.MenuItem item = new EO.Web.MenuItem();
item.Text.Html = "New Menu Item";

//Add MenuItem to Menu object
menu.Items.Add(item);

//Add the Menu object to the page
Controls.Add(menu);

[Visual Basic] 
'Create a Menu object

Dim menu1 As New EO.Web.Menu

'Create a MenuItem object

Dim item As New EO.Web.MenuItem
item.Text.Html = "New Menu Item"

'Add MenuItem to Menu object

menu.Items.Add(item)

'Add the Menu object to the page

Controls.Add(menu)
