    Hi Emad,

    The task you are trying to accomplish is not entirely clear to me. As far as I understand, you are using AccordionControl and handling its ElementClick event. If you wish to execute your custom code only if an element named "name" has been clicked, modify the event handler in the following manner:

    C#
    private void accordionControl1_ElementClick(object sender, DevExpress.XtraBars.Navigation.ElementClickEventArgs e) {  
    if (e.Element.Text == "name") {  
        //your code  
    }  
}

    If your task is more complex, please describe it in greater detail. I will do my best to provide you with an appropriate solution.

      hello Alisher,
      e.Element.Text return the text of the element but I need to get the name of the element ( in my case the name of the element is different from the text )  there is no property called e.Element.Name !!

      Hello,
      The AccordionControlElement class doesn't have the Name property. This class is the Component descendant which, in turn, doesn't have this property either. We introduced the Name property for our BarItems and NavBarItems manually earlier. I asked our developers to introduce it for the AccordionControlElement class in the future.
      Now, you can check an element either by the Text property as Alisher suggested or by an instance:

      C#
      if (e.Element == accordionControlElement3)

      I hope you find this information useful.
