Menu Server Control The Menu Server Control calls a menu to be displayed on a page. Using the Menu Server Control, you can manipulate a menu by using the DisplayXslt property. Below is a menu display with the SampleMenu Xslt. Before you can use the Menu Server Control, you must create a menu in the Ektron CMS400.NET work area. To learn about creating menus, see “Working with Menus” in the Ektron CMS400.NET User Manual. This subsection contains the following topics: • ”Menu Server Control vs. DhtmlMenu Server Control” on page 184 • ”Menu Server Control Properties” on page 185 • ”Using DisplayXslt Samples” on page 187 • ”Retrieving the XML Structure of a Menu” on page 200 Menu Server Control vs. DhtmlMenu Server Control The Menu Server Control calls a menu to be displayed on a page. You can manipulate the menu by using the DisplayXslt property. Ektron CMS400.NET Developer Reference Manual, Version 5.1, Revision 5 184
WARNING! With the DhtmlMenu Server Control, you display a dynamic menu with drop down boxes and submenus. You manipulate DhtmlMenus with a style sheet. DhtmlMenus save space on the Web page by having the drop down menus and submenus float over content. You cannot create a DHTML menu using the code behind -- you must drag and drop it. Once the menu is on the template, you can manipulate its properties using the code behind. Menu Server Control Properties NOTE The Menu Server Control properties are described in this table. The following table only lists Ektron-specific properties. It does not describe native .Net properties such as font, height, width and border style. For documentation of these properties, see VisualStudio.Net help. Property Value Data Type Authenticated Indicates if you are logged in to the CMS Explorer and can use it to browse to Content, Collections, etc. See Also: ”Using CMS Explorer to Browse Your Ektron CMS400.NET Site” on page 32 String Ektron CMS400.NET Developer Reference Manual, Version 5.1, Revision 5 185
