RadContextMenu on Rightclick for autocompletebox

[Abhi]

AutoCompleteBox t = new AutoCompleteBox();
TextBox textbox = new TextBox();

t = this as AutoCompleteBox;

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(textbox.SelectedText))

{

 _cut.IsEnabled = false;

_copy.IsEnabled = false;

}

 I am Implementing RadcontextMenu for autocompletebox in base class for cut, copy paste functionalities....
In order to get the selected text inside the autocompletebox I just used

textbox = VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(VisualTreeHelper.GetChild(t, 0), 0) as TextBox;

while debugging I observed that it returns the null value for the textbox, and I got the exception (object reference not set to an instance of an object) in the nextline..

textbox.SelectedText gives that exception

if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(textbox.SelectedText))

{

_cut.IsEnabled = false;
_copy.IsEnabled = false;
}

please give solution for this..........

Hi,

 On Rightclick on silverlight autocompletebox, I displayed RadContextMenu with cut, copy and paste functionalities, if I select some part of the text inside the autocompletebox and if I Rightclick on it, then SelectedText is visible no issues.............but if  I'll  not select anything in the autocompletebox and then if I rightclick, then SelectedText is visible with all the Text in the autocompleteBox is selected (but I didn't select anything inside the autocompletebox)....................
