  I have a RadContextMenu with a half-dozen items; I cannot for the life of me find the events for menu items.  I'm in the "RadItem Collection Editor", and my six menu items are listed, but I have ONLY properties (Accessibility, Appearance, Behavior, etc) on the right.  There is no "Events" lightning bolt in the property editor toolbar.
  
  There ARE events for the RadContextMenu itself, but only for "DropDownClosed/Closing/Opened/Opening".  So how do I, in the designer, set the handler for a context menu's menuitem click event?
  
  Thanks!
  Dave

  Hi Dave,
  
  You cannot attach to an event when using a collection editor. You can do this only from the property grid pane. To do this, show the property grid pane and then select a menu item by navigating to the drop-down list of the property grid. Then select the events page in the property grid. There you will find listed all events supported by RadMenuItem.
  
  
  I hope this helps. If you need further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us.
   
  Best wishes,

  Thanks, I needed help on this too.  This little tip should probably be added to the documentation.  : )
