Build an AJAX-Enabled CMS with Visual WebGUI: Adding Menu Components (II)

One of the basic components of any application is the menu system. It allows users to navigate across the application and launch the modules. Menu components should be customizable both on look and feel and functionality, and user should be able to develop and integrate them easily into application. The MiniCMS system begun in the first article in this series needs to have flexible menu components.

In the previous article, I designed and implemented the functionality of two elements of the menu system, as required by the MVC pattern: components handling the Model (menu configuration data) and the Controller, and also defined the interfaces to be implemented by the View part -- actual menu control for user interace. Now I will create few implementations for the View part of the menu system -- the actual components visible to the end user, which implements the functionality of the menu in the application.
