Is it possible to have multiple RadContextMenu objects on one DataGridView?

[Ryan]

Hello,

Here's my situation. I have a datagridview which is bound to a custom object. When the users left click on most of the cells they see a customized RadContextMenu that allows them to modify values and submit those changes to the custom object and then through a web service to a database. 

However, there are a few cells that they need to be able to copy the value from. I'd like a more standard right click ContextMenu to appear on those cells, but it appears that the RadGridView can only handle one ContexMenu bound to it. I could do the right click at a higher level (the window or usercontrol that the gridview is a child of) but then the right clicks would function anywhere instead of specific cells, and I'm not sure how to get the content of the cells if I'm not opening the contextmenu within the gridview.

Thanks,

Ryan Brown

Hi Ryan,

 
Unfortunately, this behavior is not supported out of the box. I would suggest you to open explicitly the RadContextMenu. You could handle the MouseLeftButtonUp and MouseRightButtonDown events. In the handlers, you could get the RadContextMenu using the following code:

RadContextMenu menu = RadContextMenu.GetContextMenu(sender as FrameworkElement);

 and add your custom logic. I hope this helps.

How exactly would I get down to the event handlers for the RadContextMenu? Is this a template level change, or something in a source code file somewhere?

Hi Ryan,

Attached you can find a sample. You could modify it in order to suit your needs.
