Hi steve,
If I have understood your case correctly, you want to show a ContextMenu when you are in the ConentPanel of a group. In this case you need to subscribe to the MouseDown event of the ContentPanel. Please refer to the following snippet for additional information:
private void PopulatePanelBar()
{
RadPanelBarGroupElement ItemsGroupElement;
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
ItemsGroupElement = new RadPanelBarGroupElement();
this.radPanelBar1.Items.Add(ItemsGroupElement);
ItemsGroupElement.Caption = "Name" + i.ToString();
ItemsGroupElement.Tag = i;
ItemsGroupElement.ContentPanel.Tag = ItemsGroupElement;
ItemsGroupElement.ContentPanel.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(ContentPanel_MouseDown);
}
foreach (RadPanelBarGroupElement element in this.radPanelBar1.Items)
{
RadPanelBarVisualElement visualElement = element.GetCaptionElement();
element.EnableHostControlMode = true;
visualElement.AutoToolTip = true;
}
}
void ContentPanel_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
{
ContextMenu myMenu = new ContextMenu();
if (sender != null)
{
RadTabStripContentPanel panel = (RadTabStripContentPanel)sender;
panel.ContextMenu = myMenu;
MenuItem AddItemRadMenuItem = new MenuItem();
AddItemRadMenuItem.Text = ((RadPanelBarGroupElement)panel.Tag).Caption;
MenuItem UpdateItemRadMenuItem = new MenuItem();
MenuItem InactivateItemRadMenuItem = new MenuItem();
MenuItem ExpandPanelBarRadMenuItem = new MenuItem();
MenuItem CollapsePanelBarRadMenuItem = new MenuItem();
myMenu.MenuItems.Add(AddItemRadMenuItem);
myMenu.MenuItems.Add(UpdateItemRadMenuItem);
myMenu.MenuItems.Add(InactivateItemRadMenuItem);
myMenu.MenuItems.Add(ExpandPanelBarRadMenuItem);
myMenu.MenuItems.Add(CollapsePanelBarRadMenuItem);
}
}
}
I hope this helps. If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.
