'Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadContextMenu' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu'

[Curtis]

I'm sure i'm missing something simple but the solution eludes me - i'm trying to use a RadContextMenu instead of the standard Windows.Forms.ContextMenu but receive the following error:

 

'Telerik.WinControls.UI.RadContextMenu' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.Forms.ContextMenu'.

 

Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Sure enough, it was simple!  For anyone finding this thread...here's how it's done:

1) Drop your RadContextMenu onto your form.

2) Edit the Items collection as needed.

3) ADD a RadContextMenuManager control to your form...this will auto-create a new Property for every control on that form - property name?  RadContextMenu of course!  Click that and your context menu created in step #1 will show up on the list.

Hi Curtis,

Thank you for sharing your solution with our community.

Indeed, this is the proper way to add a RadContextMenu to your application. Additional information is also available in the following documentation articles:

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.
