    Default Menu Flyout

    I'm trying to simply use the Category menu:

    <aspdnsf:EntityControl ID="ctrlEntityCategory" runat="server"
    EntityType="Category" MaxMenuSize="<%$ Tokens:AppConfigUSInt, MaxMenuSize %>" />

    On v8 - I had easily made an edit to fly out the menu so that subcategories are shown by default. Switched to v9 and I have no idea what to do.

    I'm basically looking to get 2 levels of the menu to show.

    Thanks.

    What version of 9 are you using? 9.x.x.x - there's a known issue with that in 9.0.1.2 that you can contact support for an update on.

    So you're looking for something like this?

    Code:
    Home
-Categories
--Cat1
---Cat1.1
---Cat1.2
---Cat1.3
--Cat2
---Cat2.1
---Cat2.2

    Basically yes. I'd like the menu to always be open showing all sub categories.

    Just set the StaticDisplayLevels property of the menu to be 2 or 3. That will display more levels of the menu statically.

    I'm using this menu control:

    <aspdnsf:EntityControl ID="ctrlEntityCategory" runat="server"
    EntityType="Category" MaxMenuSize="<%$ Tokens:AppConfigUSInt, MaxMenuSize %>" />

    As opposed to the new asp menu. This works better for what I need and I really don't like how the new menu writes everything out in Tables. I had no issue showing all levels on the v8 storefront.

    Unfortunately, StaticDisplayLevels doesn't work on this.
