AppointmentContetMenus - Submenus programmatically?

[Thomas]

Hi!

I can add AppointmentContextMenus rows programmatically like this:

foreach (Resource resourceUser in RadScheduler1.Resources.GetResourcesByType("Employee"))
{
    string availEmployee = resourceUser.Text;
    RadMenuItem resourceItem = new RadMenuItem(availEmployee);
    resourceItem.Attributes["Key"] = resourceUser.Key.ToString();
    resourceItem.Value = "CommandAddAppointment";
    resourceItem.ImageUrl = "/i/Toolbar/Custom/personal.png";
    RadScheduler1.AppointmentContextMenus[0].Items.Add(resourceItem);
}

How can I put them into a submenu?
See my attached picture (a screen dump from Telerik Context Menu Demo), I want my list of employees to end up inside the "Categorize" menurow.

I'm using v.2011.2.915.40

Sincerely, Thomas

Hello Thomas,

You could define the AppointmentContextMenu of RadSheduler as follows:

<AppointmentContextMenus>
    <telerik:RadSchedulerContextMenu runat="server" ID="SchedulerAppointmentContextMenu">
        <Items>
            <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Open" Value="CommandEdit" />
            <telerik:RadMenuItem IsSeparator="True" />
            <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Categorize">
            </telerik:RadMenuItem>
            <telerik:RadMenuItem IsSeparator="True" />
            <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Delete" Value="CommandDelete" />
        </Items>
    </telerik:RadSchedulerContextMenu>
</AppointmentContextMenus>

When you have the AppointmentContextMenu defined you could access its items and sub items as the highlighted code line bellow shows:

foreach (Resource resourceUser in RadScheduler1.Resources.GetResourcesByType("Employee"))

{

    string availEmployee = resourceUser.Text;

    RadMenuItem resourceItem = new RadMenuItem(availEmployee);

    resourceItem.Attributes["Key"] = resourceUser.Key.ToString();

    resourceItem.Value = "CommandAddAppointment";

    resourceItem.ImageUrl = "/i/Toolbar/Custom/personal.png";

    RadMenuItemCollection categorizeItems =  
         RadScheduler1.AppointmentContextMenus[0].Items[2].Items;


    categorizeItems.Add(resourceItem);

}

More information of defining ContextMenus could be found at the following demo page at our website:
RadScheduler: Context Menu.

Hope this helps.
