Context menu on asp:TextBox

    Hi,

    I'm trying to get the RadMenu context-menu to work with right-clicks on an asp:TextBox. The problem is the context-menu of the browser goes on top (for copy/paste and so on) and hides the RadMenu context menu.

    Edit: Note, I'm using the Q3 version.

    Please advice on how to resolve this.

    Regards,
    Sjur Rondestveit

    Hi Sjur,

    I did a small test project based on your description but I didn't observe any problems with the menu. Could you please view the attached project and let us know what is different in your case.

    Thank you for your quick response.
    The main difference is 1.1 framework. Also, my page has the old ASP.NET menu-control on top, I don't know if this is messing things up.

    If the context menu is not attached to a control I can rightclick over a textbox and it works as expected, but attaching it brings up the problem.

    Regards,

    Hi Sjur,

    I tested the case under .NET 1.1 and found out that the menu goes under the asp textbox control. However, the browser context menu didn't show (on right click of the textbox). To make the menu display over the context menu element, you need to set the z-index of the menu to large enough value. For example, try:

    <radM:RadMenu id="RadMenu1" IsContext="True" style="Z-INDEX: 10000"/> 

    Don't hesitate to correct me if I am missing something here.

    Hello Bindra,

    You can show the RadContextMenu explicitly using the following methods.
    • show(event):Displays the menu as a pop-up, using the position in the DOM event that is passed as a parameter.
    • showAt(int X, int Y):Displays the menu as a pop-up at the coordinates specified by the parameters.
    Here is a sample code to achieve the same.

    aspx:
    <asp:TextBox ID="TxtBox3" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
    <telerik:RadContextMenu ID="RadContextMenu1" runat="server" ClickToOpen="false">
                <Items>
                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Hai">
                    </telerik:RadMenuItem>
                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Item2">
                    </telerik:RadMenuItem>
                </Items>
    </telerik:RadContextMenu>

    Javascript:
    function KeyEvent(e)
      {
        var txt = document.getElementById("TxtBox3");
        var menu = $find("<%=RadContextMenu1.ClientID %>");
        if ((!e.relatedTarget) || (!$telerik.isDescendantOrSelf(contextMenu.get_element(), e.relatedTarget)))
        {
            menu.show(e);
        }
        $telerik.cancelRawEvent(e);
    }

    And attaching the keypress event from pageload.
    C#:
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           TxtBox3.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", "KeyEvent(event)");
       }
    Thanks,
    Princy.
