System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace   Menu Class

---

.NET Framework version 2.0

Sets or retrieves the number of menu levels to render for a static menu.

Inline	<asp:menu staticdisplaylevels = intValue ... >
Script	Menu.StaticDisplayLevels [ = intValue ]

intValue

The number of menu levels to render for a static menu./td>

The property is read/write with a default value of 1.

Exception Type	Condition
ArgumentOutOfRangeException	The specified value is less than 1.

Use the StaticDisplayLevels property to specify or determine the number of menu levels to render for a static menu.

By default, the menu items at the root level ( level 0 ) are displayed in the static menu.

To control static display behavior, use this property to specify how many additional menu levels ( static submenus ) to show from the root of the menu. For example, if StaticDisplayLevels is set to 3, the menu will be expanded to statically display its first three levels.

Menu items with a level higher than the value specified by the StaticDisplayLevels property are displayed in a dynamic menu.

The following example demonstrates how to use the StaticDisplayLevels property to set the number of menu levels to display in a static menu.

<asp:menu id = "navigationMenu"
   staticdisplaylevels=2
   staticsubmenuindent=10 
   orientation = "Vertical"
   target = "_blank"   
   runat = "server">
   
   <items>
      ...
   </items>

</asp:menu>
