How to hide or disable the 'Hide' option on RadPane contextmenu?

[Chris]

Hi,

I have a RadDocking control and want to hide or disable the 'Hide' option from the contextmenu. There is a CanFloat and CanUserClose property but no CanHide.

Does anyone know how this could be achieved?

Hi Chris,

Thank you for contacting us.

In order to customize the context menu you will need to edit RadPane style and customize the ContextMenuTemplate by removing the "Hide" RadMenuItem (the item with Close command). The next code snippet represents a sample ContextMenuTemplate taken from the control theme in which the Hide button is removed:

<Setter Property="ContextMenuTemplate">
    <Setter.Value>
        <DataTemplate>
            <telerik:RadContextMenu ClickToOpen="True" InheritDataContext="False">
                <telerik:StyleManager.Theme>
                    <telerik:Office_BlackTheme/>
                </telerik:StyleManager.Theme>
                ...
                <!--<telerik:RadMenuItem CommandTarget="{Binding}" CommandParameter="{Binding}" Command="telerik:RadDockingCommands.Close" Header="{Binding Command.Text, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" IsChecked="{Binding IsHidden}"/>-->
            </telerik:RadContextMenu>
        </DataTemplate>
    </Setter.Value>
</Setter>

The easiest way to achieve that is by using Implicit Styles.
