Is there a way to show sub-items on menu tree based on hower instead of a click? similar to how IA does it with showing more properties from the style components.

Thank you,

You could use the component event onMouseOver

I believe @kaushik.shah is trying to have the sub-items for a menu item expand when it is hovered over. The `onMouseOver` event wouldn’t give you the context needed to know which menu item it being hovered on.

Unless I am missing something, I think you would need to search for or implement your own component to do something like this. I think I have seen some modules out there that can give you more information about the component you’re hovering on, but I can’t remember where.

That’s true, you’d have to build your own container with an accordion object for each menu item to do the hover-over to expand. Which isn’t ideal but is an option with some effort.
