Can't assign RADContext Menu to RADGridView.ContextMenu

[Sanket Singhvi]

Hi,

1) I am trying to populate a RadContext menu at run time and trying to assign it to RadGridView but it is expecting Windows.Control.contextmenu

2) I use windows context menu instead of RadcontextMenu. Now I have trouble with hot keys. For Copy menu item I am trying to bind command property to ApplicationCommands.Copy . But problem occurs when I click on a row and Hit Control C nothing happens. Don't know why it is not firing Copy Menu click event.

regards
sanket

Hello Sanket Singhvi,

RadContextMenu does not inherit from ContextMenu class so you cannot assign it to ContextMenu property. This property comes from a base class and expect a System.Windows.Controls.ContextMenu class.
You can see how to use RadContextMenu in our demos:

As for your second question - we are unable to reproduce it. Could you send us project that we can investigate?

Well Question is how HotKeys like (Ctrl +C) will work for context menu in RadGridView.

Hi Sanket Singhvi,

RadGridView allow you to modify the default action on specific keys. You can read more here:
http://blogs.telerik.com/blogs/posts/10-07-05/introducing_cell_copy_paste_in_radgridview_for_wpf_silverlight.aspx

As for the RadContextMenu there is no built-in copy command for the selected rows/cells but you could manually do so.

Let us know if you need more information.
