.NET Framework - Flyout Menu Which Drops Down

Asked By North Wales

Hi,

Back again and decided I will not totally get rid of the menu but change it
to horizontal instead so it drops down. Problem is while I have this working
the arrows point to the right and not down which would indicate there is a
drop down menu.

How do I get this to work?

Create your own down arrow image and set the menu attribute:

StaticPopOutImageUrl="~/Images/your-drop-arrow.gif"

For the dynamic dropdown menu items themselves, they'd still use the default
side arrows, but since any additional levels of flyouts are to the side, it
makes sense.  If you want to change that, add your own DynamicPopOutImageURL.

For the simple case, make a .gif with a black arrow and the background set
to transparent so that menu highlight colors will show through it.

Hi Kathy

One last problem to sort, i have a menu which i have used auto format, shown
in the top image. I would like it as in the bottom image, that is clear
background but still keeping the yellow colour of the top image for the fly
out part of the menu.

Image location is here

In EW, select the menu, then look at the "Tag Properties" pane in the lower
left.  Scroll down and expand the items and see where overall background
colors are set, and where you can add ones specifically for the
DynamicMenuItemStyle, and so on.  This is where you should be looking to
experiment with different menu styles.
