Greetings,

I'm trying to implement the menu buttons that will only expand when it's clicked and it should remain open when the mouse pointer leaves the Menu. Currently, the user has to click the menu button or the items to close the menu. Is there a way to close the menu and disable the open-on-hover behavior by clicking outside of the menu button on the page?

Here is the snippet of the code:

<Menu
  openOnClick
  hoverCloseDelay={100000}
>

Please help, thanks!

 

Jason

Hello Jason,

Although that there is no configuration that can be used for achieving the desired result, you can handle the "click" event of the document and close the menu manually if the target of the click event is not within the menu or its popup. Following is an example demonstrating this approach:

Hope this helps.

Hi Konstantin,

Is there a way to disable the open-on-hover functionality after closing the menu by clicking outside of the menu?

Hi,

Currently the openOnClick will be applied for the initial open of the Menu and afterwards it will be open on hover. We have logged item for introducing another option that will open the menu on click all the time:

I have included this request as well to increase its priority and I will also try to forward it to the team and see if we can add it in the planning for the next releases.
