We are using MDC menu ponent. I am looking for a way to not close the menu when clicked on the first item in the menu.
I tried applying a class to mdc-list-item and specifying cursor as auto, but it is not working.
.menu-do-not-close {
cursor: auto !important;
}
below is the example fiddle

Could you provide some direction on how to achieve this.

Reset to default 7 +50You can stop the menu from closing after a specific item is selected by calling event.stopPropagation() on the mdc-list-item click event when the event target has a specific class assigned. You will need to add some additional code to handle the list item click event since this prevents the normal MDC menu click handling.
const menu = mdc.menu.MDCMenu.attachTo(document.querySelector('.mdc-menu'));
document.querySelector('.mdc-button').addEventListener('click', () => {
menu.open = !menu.open;
});
//Prevent menu close when option with 'prevent-menu-close' class clicked
for (const option of document.querySelectorAll('.mdc-list-item')) {
option.addEventListener('click', (event) => {
const prevent = event.currentTarget.classList.contains('prevent-menu-close');
if (prevent) {
event.stopPropagation();
// handle 'prevent-menu-close' list item click event
}
});
