Material UI Menu not closing after clicking a menu item

Question

This is code straight from MUI menu - customized menu.. I didn't want to put my code because there are some built in functions that make it more confusing.

In my code (not this) I open a MUI Dialog when a menu item is clicked. The issue is that the menu does not go away after the Dialog is submitted.

I would like to know how to make the menu close as soon as anything on the menu is clicked(menu items).

Thanks

You can just assign handleClose handler to the onClick property of the <Menu> itself like this:

<StyledMenu
  onClick={handleClose}
  onClose={handleClose}
  {...yourProps}
>
 ...
</StyledMenu>
