Cannot use ContextMenuStrip which has submenus in autohidden windows

[Thomas]

Hi, 

I have RadDock with docked window to the left side. State of this window is auto-hidden. This window has one control RadTreeView which has assigned ContextMenuStrip. This ContextMenuStrip have menu with sub-menu items.
In this case when I open menu and click at any sub-menu item (level 2 or deeper), my window hides, and event from menu item isn't fires. I'm using Controls from Q3 SP1

P.S. If I click at pin button, to avoid window auto-hide, then everything works well.

What should I do? Is there a workaround for this issue?

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for contacting us.

I was able to reproduce the described issue. I logged it in our Public Issue Tracking System and we will try to address it in the upcoming release. Here you can track its progress: http://www.telerik.com/support/pits.aspx#/public/winforms/14196. For the time being, you can  work around this issue by using RadContextMenu instead of ContextMenuStrip. You can assign the RadTreeView with a RadContextMenu by setting the following property:

this.radTreeView1.RadContextMenu = this.radContextMenu1;

Your Telerik points have been updated for your report. Should you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
