Hi Lili

Yes, we should create the start menu from the database after user login. Could you have any sample for refreshing the start menu from server side? For example, when system startup, just display the login option in start menu. But after user login successful, the start menu would be changed and refresh for the related option for user.

Many thx.

Hi Kenneth,

I am terribly sorry I don't really get your question here. What kind of postback that you need to do? Could you explain in more detail? Do you create the start menu item from the database?

About the display, we need to discuss it with our developer and will inform you about the result soon.

Thank for Info. But your case just simple display the text in the parent window. How about getting Context.User.Identity.Name value after user successfully login? Are there anyway to postbask to parent window's server side code to get the value? As our user would have diffficult menu after they have login, please provide a sample for create start menu from server side ( because it will retreive from DB directly ) after user login.

Moreover, after impletment the start menu and generate from server side code. we found that can't be display full submenu if it is a long menu which shown as attached. Pleasea help to solve.

Many thank

Could you please send the above sample to me because I got the error when I open your attached file.

I want a example for creating creating a sample "Taskbar" that emulates a "Start Menu" behavior.

Also, please provide an example of integrating a Label and in the Taskbar that can be updated with the name of a currently logged in user / active file.

Many thx.

The TDN, dev2.intersoftpt.com, is using WebContextMenu to achieve the taskbar functionality. I have update the the attached sample to use WebContextMenu as well.

You could read in more detail regarding the WebContextMenu in the WebDesktop documentations in the article titled WebContextMenu.

I understand that the "start menu" used on Dev2.intersoftpt.com uses WebCallout for its elegant interface, and rows of items that can be highlighted and expanded (displayed subrows to the right)

Can you kindly provide a sample of such an interface..... with details on templating, as Dev2 uses a vertical line in the start button that is very elegant.

Thank you

You could use the TaskBarLeftTemplate in the WebDesktopManger to simulate the Start menu button and using WebDialogBox to pop up the option window.

Integrating label in the taskbar could be achieved by using the TaskbarRightTemplate. In the sample, the label content is set during onInitialize client side event.

The sample use resource available in the WebDesktop provided sample.

Pleae provide a WebDesktop example for creating a sample "Taskbar" that emulates a "Start Menu" behavior. Whereby clicking on the button launches a window of options. Selecting an option on the start menu launches a new window.

Also, please provide an example of integrating a Label and in the Taskbar that can be updated with the name of a currently logged in user / active file.
