PanelMenuItem selectedChild problem

[socken]

I wrote a bean which saves the currently selected child. This works for top level elements (not within a panelMenuGroup).

But if the element is further down the hierarchy, it doesn't work.

Shouldn't a panelGroup that contains the currently selected element be opened by default??

Thanks for any help

no, by default - group will not be opened. expanded event should be used also in order to control this state.

Thanks for your answer!

Mhh.. in this case, I'm looking for a way to check if the currently selected child is in the specific panelMenuGroup. How do I implement this in the backing bean?

Does anyone have a good example? I think the one on the richfaces showcase doesn't really show how the menu works. It just shows, how to reload a panel, but the page is never reloaded, so the menu doesn't need a correctly implemented backing bean... quite confusing..

Hello!

One possible solution is to build your whole menu in your bean, and bind it on the jsf-site via the binding-attribute.

do it like if have done here --> http://jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=132816
and for info: the bug in this topic is already fixed!

Cheers!
