Customising CMSListMenu
I'd like to customise the CMSListMenu to do a little more than the standard UL/LI stuff, but I'm having trouble finding the source code in the VS project. Is the source for CMS controls even available, or is it binary only?

I saw an old thread that suggested using the renderHTML property and lots of parsing of strings to fiddle with what gets turned out, but I'd quite like to attempt a more sophisticated solution.

By way of context, I'm attempting to create a "mega" drop down nav along the lines of http://www.foodnetwork.com/ , and lists and CSS alone isn't going to cut it! :)

Thanks for any help,

Robin

RE:Customising CMSListMenu
Hello,

Regrettably you can't avoid using RenderedHTML property of your CSS List Menu. You would need to have source code to affect the code which is generated by this control.

Hi robinc.
Please, can you tell me if did you found a solution to your problem?
I'm in the same situation: I would like to add a mega drop down menu to a kentico site (portal engine).

Thank you.
