Hey John, Couldn't find it here....but is it possible to configure it in a skin in a way that the list only shows its children so to speak....So only itself and its child tabs.....I want to place this in a skin thats used in multiple levels 1. For example if I am on page tab2b_level1, the selectlist must show only tab2b_level1 and its childtabs (tab2b1_level2, tab2b2_level2 and tab2b3_level2); if I am on page tab2a_level1, the selectlist must show only tab2a_level1 and its childtab (tab2a1_level2). tab1_level0 tab1a_level1 tab2_level0 tab2a_level1 tab2a1_level2 tab2b_level1 tab2b1_level2 tab2b2_level2 tab2b3_level2 tab2c_level1 tab2c1_level2 tab2d_level1 tab2d1_level2 tab3_level0 Can you please help me? Keston

John, Is it possible to include a token so that you'll get something like: snapsis:navmenu id="ChildtabsLevel1" level="1-2" type="SelectList" IncludeTabs="[Page.Parent.Name]"....? Keston

There is a ShowType="WithActiveParent" that should do what you want.

but in the developersguide you stated: ShowType – Used very rarely. This property was added to support using two instances of the menus on the same page as in the case when you want to display root navigation in one instance and child navigation in another, with the child instance only displaying the links for the currently active root. Note: This setting is only valid when using the “Tabs” NavType.** and i'm using the NavType="SelectList" Maybe this is why this doesnt work? Keston

Recent versions include that option for other types of built-in menus, including the SelectList. I need to get that documentation updated. If it is not working, maybe you have an older version. I can send you a newer version if that is the case, just reply directly to the notification of this post.

I have version 3.1.2.0....thought that that was the latest? I now have this in my skin: Snapsis:NavMenu id="ChildTabsLevel1" Level="2" Type="SelectList" ShowType="WithActiveParent" runat="server" but it shows áll level 2 tabs and not only the ones under the active tab! Keston

I just tried it on my dev instance and it worked as expected. Try putting an ending range on the Level, Level="2-2", or Level="2-3" and see if that helps.

Oh, and yes, 3.1.2 is the newest and should have that change, but if you want to send me an e-mail I can send you what I have.
