[Solved] RadMenuItem hierarchy

Hello, Carl,

I am not familiar with what your existing setup looks like, but you can walk up the hierarchy using the HierarchyParent property on each RadMenuItem. Here's a recursive approach:

private RadMenuItem GetRootMenuItem(RadMenuItem item)
{
    if (item.HierarchyParent is RadMenuItem parent)
    {
        return GetRootMenuItem(parent);
    }
    Console.WriteLine("Root Item is: " + item.Text);
    return item;
}

HierarchyParent returns the parent in the menu tree. When you reach the top-level RadMenuItem, its HierarchyParent will no longer be a RadMenuItem (it will be the RadMenu itself), so the loop stops and you have your root item. So, when you pass any sub-menu item to this method, it returns the root menu item.

I hope this solution helps. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask.
