RadzenMenuItem - Icon and Index

Radzen.Blazor Components

Hi, two questions in one.

First, I have a menu where I wish to identify the currently selected menu item by say tagging it with a check mark. I have tried to do this by setting the Icon property to a variable and then setting the Icon string in code:

What I want:

My attempt to replicate:

@code {
private string magicWord = "blobby";

public string ColorcurveIcon = "";
public string ColoroidIcon = "";

private void MenuHandler(MenuItemEventArgs e)
{

ColorcurveIcon = "";
ColoroidIcon = "";
if (e.Text == "Colorcurve")
{
    ColorcurveIcon = "check_circle";
    magicWord = e.Text + @"_plus";
}
if (e.Text == "Coloroid")
{
    ColoroidIcon = "check_circle";
    magicWord = e.Text + @"_plus";
}

else
{
    magicWord = e.Text + @"_minus";
}

}
}

But this doesn't work. Any way of achieving this end?

Secondly, my menu structure has a lot of menu items. Using the Text property to string compare to identify the selected menu item is laborious, is there a better way to this via, say, a menu index?

Thanks

This is the HTML markup - restrictions on images in posts wouldn't let me put this in the original post:

What doesn't work?

The MenuItem also has a Value property. Index is not available.
