click event handler for contextmenu items

[Jim]

I think this is an easy one, but I'm not seeing how to do it. I want to write event handlers for the menu items in the radscheduler context menu. For example, I want to write the code for "Next View."

Anybody done this? Thanks in advance for your help. I hope you get lots of points. :)

Hello revox,

Thank you for writing. If I understand correctly, you want to navigate to the next view and navigate to the previous view through the context menu. In this case when you click the next view item in the context menu you should call method

RadScheduler.NavigateToNextViewCommand.ExecuteCommand(this.associatedScheduler);

For the previous view, you could use

RadScheduler.NavigateToPreviousViewCommand.ExecuteCommand(this.associatedScheduler);

I hope that this will help you. If you have other questions feel free to contact us.

Sincerely yours,

Thanks for your response! I want to override the click event handlers for the context menu items. (I'm finally getting back to this task.)

It's not the code you wrote that had me stumped. It's how to override the click event handler. As I said originally, this may be an easy one. I'll search the forum for an answer.

I don't usually try to "override" the Telerik menu items click events, I usually just make their menu items invisible (The one's I don't want/need), add my own menu item, and then handle my menu item's click event.  The code is as follows:

Private Sub radScheduler1_ContextMenuShowing(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Telerik.WinControls.UI.SchedulerContextMenuShowingEventArgs) Handles radScheduler1.ContextMenuShowing

    

'REMOVES NextView FROM CONTEXT MENU


Dim i As Integer = 0

Do While i < e.ContextMenu.Items.Count

   If e.ContextMenu.Items(i).Text = "NextView" Then

      e.ContextMenu.Items(i).Visibility = Telerik.WinControls.ElementVisibility.Collapsed

      Exit Do

    End If

    i += 1

Loop

  

'ADD YOUR OWN NEXTVIEW BUTTON

Dim changeView As RadMenuItem = New RadMenuItem()

e.ContextMenu.Items.Insert(0,changeView)

changeView.Text = "change view"

   

'CREATE THE HANDLER FOR THE BUTTON

AddHandler changeView.Click, AddressOf changeView_Click

    

End Sub
