Remarks

Use the LevelSelectedStyles collection as an alternative to the DynamicSelectedStyle and StaticSelectedStyle properties to control the style of a selected menu item at the individual levels of the menu. The styles contained in this collection are applied to a selected menu item based on its menu level. The first style in the collection corresponds to the style of a selected menu item in the first level of the menu. The second style in the collection corresponds to the style of a selected menu item in the second level of the menu, and so on. This collection is most often used to generate table of contents-style navigation menus where menu items at a certain level should have the same appearance, regardless of whether they have submenus.

Note

If a style is defined for a certain level using the LevelSelectedStyles collection, this overrides the DynamicSelectedStyle and StaticSelectedStyle properties at that level.
