Hi,
    I want to diable the right click option in the RadpanelbarGroupElement. How should i acheive it?
As of now am giving the message box in the mouse down event. Below is the code that i have used.

Private Sub RadPanelBar1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles RadPanelBar1.MouseDown

       Try

           If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then

               RadMessageBox.Show("Right click not allowed.")

               Exit Sub

           End If

       Catch ex As Exception

           RadMessageBox.Show(ex.ToString)

       End Try

   End Sub

I dont need to intimate the user about this. How this should be done?

Hi Alexander,
    I have tried it out and it is not working for me.

Private Sub RadPanelBar1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles RadPanelBar1.MouseDown

       Try

           If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then

               Dim booleanvalue As Boolean = False

               ' RadMessageBox.Show("Right click not allowed.")

               'Exit Sub

           End If

       Catch ex As Exception

           RadMessageBox.Show(ex.ToString)

       End Try

   End Sub

I have also RadPanelBarGroupElement click event and i hope this is firing the event. Is there any solution for this?

Hello Surendar,

The approach I described is using a global variable in your class which indicates if the right mouse button has been clicked. You can use it to skip some logic in your application which should be executed when the right button is clicked as in this code snippet:

Private RightButtonClicked As Boolean = False

Private Sub RadPanelBar1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles RadPanelBar1.MouseDown

    Try

        If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then

            Me.RightButtonClicked = True

            Exit Sub

        End If

    Catch ex As Exception

        RadMessageBox.Show(ex.ToString)

    End Try

End Sub

Private Sub SomeMethod()

    ' if should skip right mouse button

    If Me.RightButtonClicked Then

        Me.RightButtonClicked = False

        Return

    End If

    ' method logic here

End Sub

Please provide me with more details concerning your scenario. It will help me to provide a more specific approach.
