Hi Dasha,

I am sorry for the time that we have to give you the right solution. After checking the properties, I found the property to remove the access key from the tooltip. This is the complete code:

MenuCommand MenuComand = new MenuCommand();
MenuComand.Text = "Test Value";
MenuComand.Name = "UniqueID"; 
MenuComand.AccessKey = "non empty value";
MenuComand.ToolTip = "ToolTip Text";
MenuComand.DisplayAccessKeyOnToolTip = DisplayAccessKeyOnToolTip.No;

Best Regards,

Gordon Tumewu

Hi Dasha,

If you dont want to show the tooltip, you can set the DisplayToolTip property to No. Here is the complete code:

MenuCommand MenuComand = new MenuCommand();
MenuComand.Text = "Test Value";
MenuComand.Name = "UniqueID"; 
MenuComand.AccessKey = "non empty value";
MenuComand.ToolTip = "ToolTip Text";
MenuComand.DisplayToolTip = DisplayToolTip.No;

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Gordon, this is what i'm doing in code:

MenuComand = new MenuCommand();

MenuComand.Text = "Test Value";

MenuComand.Name = "UniqueID";MenuComand.AccessKey = "non empty value";

MenuComand.ToolTip = "ToolTip Text";

And what I see is in the attached image. If possible, give us a responce as soon as you can, since this has been a very long outstanding issue, and it's important for our release that's taking plase in the next few days. Thank you so much for all the help!

Hi Dasha,

You can turn off the tooltip by setting the DisplayToolTip property to False. Or you can change the content of the tooltip at

<ISWebDesktop:WebMenuItem AccessKey="n" Name="mnuNewWindow" Tooltip="Test" OnClick="NewWindow" Text="New Window">

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Gordon,

With Yudi's help we've figured out that the keyboard navigation by way of tabbing only works when the access key is defined in the Menu Commands. I've gone around this by setting the access key string to be something like 'non empty string', but now I get a tooltip when i hover over the menu commans: "(Alt + non empty string)" how can I remove this tooltip?

Thank you for your help,

Dasha.

Gordon, just an update to my issue. I've discovered that it's occurring when the items are created dynamically in codebehind rather than in the html. So that's why your example works, and mine environment doesn't. It has nothing to do with SharePoint, but rather in the way the items are created - dynamically versus statically. Try creating items like this:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MenuCommand cmd = new MenuCommand();
        cmd.Name = "item1";
        cmd.Text = "item1";
        cmd.AccessKey = "a";

        WebMenuBar1.Menus.Add(cmd);
}

And then try to expand them by using the keyboard - it will not work.

Thank you for helping me with this,

Gordon,

Thank you for this example. I see that when you initially tab into the menu, the whole thing is selected, and then you press tab again, and the individual menu command is selected. This is not happening in the SharePoint environment for some reason. I tab over the menu bar, and it gets selected, but clicking Tab again, moves to the next control on the page instead of the individual menu command. Can you please try your example in a SharePoint environment to see if you can replicate?

Hi Dasha,

Here I attached my complete simple sample. Could you try to run it at your end and let me know whether you can expand the menu using down navigation arrow.

Best Regards,

Is there a way to enable kayboard navigation in the WebMenuBar? (Like it's possible with the WebTreeView).

Thank you.
