Any ideas? Is my issue clear enough? Would a sample help?

Hello Scott,

I am sorry for the late reply. Our internet connection is broken since Friday. We have just connected today.

Btw, could you guide me about your issue with a simple sample? I don't quite understand about your explanation. What is "open new tab" menu you talked? Is it a menu from menubar or something? 

Regards,
Handy

Hi Handy,

Sorry for the slow reply. We've been dealing with some other issues related to upgrading and haven't had time to come back to this. 'Open in New Window' and 'Open in New Tab' are both built in Internet Explorer options when you right click an HTML link. I've attached an image of our old navigation to show what I mean. Visitors use these options to open a new window in addition to the one they are currently viewing. That way they can compare data in two different pages easily. We'd like to find a way to work something like this into our new implementation (at least the 'New Window' option).

I've also attached a sample project that contains a simplified version of our new navigation. You should be able to unzip this file, open the project in Visual Studio and view DynamicNav.aspx in a Browser window.

Here are the problems we're running into:

1. The WebContextMenu we've added doesn't show up on any of the child menu items. The MenuCommand does display the WebContextMenu but the WebMenuItems do not. How can we make the WebContextMenu display on the MenuCommands and child WebMenuItems?

2. If you right click on any MenuCommand item that has a TargetURL the WebContextMenu is displayed for a quick second, but the link TargetURL is immediately accessed and we leave the page. How do we prevent the TargetURL from being accessed when trying to view the WebContextMenu using a right click?

3. Is there a way to connect the WebMenuBar to the WebContextMenu so the TargetURL we are trying to access in the MenuCommand or WebMenuItem is passed to the WebContextMenu?

or

4. Is there a way to replace the JavaScript items in the MenuCommand and WebMenuItem with real HTML links like '<a href=http://link.com>Text</a>' ? If this was possible we could completely bypass the first three steps as the built in Internet Explorer options for new Tab and new Window would be included by default.

Long term I’m guessing #1-3 are the better options to deal with. Short term #4 would probably be a good fix for us. We’re open to either so any guidance on this would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott French

Hi Scott,

Thank you for guiding me in details. Unfortunately, the scenario could not be done in current WebMenu. This is our WebMenuBar behaviour which designs to look like windows toolbar. If you place only WebMenu, you will already could see the same behaviour. 

Integrate WebContextMenu also not an option for now because WebContextMenu only will show when you clicked on WebMenu, not in WebMenuItem. If you insist to have this feature, please post this as feature request at developer network>>Community Center>>ProductFeedback as feature request.
