context menu doesn't stay open

[Roy]

Hello,

I'm using the rad context menu as a popup menu, fired up with left mouse click.
problem is that when the menu slides down and opens, it immediatly closes. i noticed that if i keep the mouse button down, the context menu stays open, but i can't really do nothing that way.
unfortunatlly i can't add an example here.
basically, i have a table. each row has an onmousedown event, which fires up the context menu with the help of the contextmenu.show(event) method.

How can i fix this?

Hi Roy,

You can try canceling the DOM event bubbling:

event.cancelBubble = true;
if (event.stopPropagation)
 event.stopPropagation();

thanks for the help, but i actually fixed it myself.
i changed the event i used to onclick, and thus the the menu stayed opened.
probeblly something with the event lifecycle or whatever ;p

Hello Roy.

I'm having the same problem as you had. I applied the Telerik code but it does not work.

What did you change in the event management to make your menu stay open ?

Thanks for your help

Hello.

I have found out why the context menu did not keep open. It was because the page is nested in a master page and you must put the full control name in the ContextMenuElementId property. The context control is "FpSpreadDashboard" but in a master page the "_ctl0_ContentPlaceHolder_" prefix  is insert before the control id ("ContentPlaceHolder" is the ContentPlaceHolderID property of my nested page) : <asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder" runat="Server">

So it must be: 

<

rad:RadMenu ID="RadContextMenu" 
    ... 
    ContextMenuElementID="_ctl0_ContentPlaceHolder_FpSpreadDashboard"
    ...
</rad:RadMenu>
Let me know if there is another way of dealing with RadMenu within a master page.
Thanks
