Hi Telerik Team,

I'm trying to put a ComboBox inside a ContextMenu. Would you be able to advise us on how to fix this issue ?
My code is working but there seems to be a visual issue where the tip of the combobox is cut as seen in the picture attached.
Here is my code (some of it is hardcoded and taken directly from the demo)

RadContextMenu contextMenu = new RadContextMenu();
RadMenuItem menuItem = new RadMenuItem("Add Item");
RadDropDownList fontDropDownList = new RadDropDownList(); 
//fontDropDownList.Margin = new Padding(25, 5, 5, 5); 
fontDropDownList.Text = "Select Font"; 
fontDropDownList.Items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Arial")); 
fontDropDownList.Items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Tahoma")); 
fontDropDownList.Items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Times New Roman")); 
fontDropDownList.Items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Verdana"));
             
RadMenuContentItem contentItem = new RadMenuContentItem();
contentItem.ContentElement = new RadHostItem(fontDropDownList);
contentItem.MinSize = new System.Drawing.Size(150, 100);
menuItem.Items.Add(contentItem);
contextMenu.Items.Add(menuItem);

Would you be able to advise us on how to fix this issue ?
Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Adi Kurniawan

Hello Adi,

Thank you for contacting Telerik Support.

I have modified a little bit your code to obtain the results from the attached picture:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

// TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'nwindDataSet.Customers' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.

this.customersTableAdapter.Fill(this.nwindDataSet.Customers);

contextMenu = new RadContextMenu();

RadMenuItem menuItem = new RadMenuItem("Add Item");

RadDropDownList fontDropDownList = new RadDropDownList();

fontDropDownList.Text = "Select Font";

fontDropDownList.Items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Arial"));

fontDropDownList.Items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Tahoma"));

fontDropDownList.Items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Times New Roman"));

fontDropDownList.Items.Add(new RadListDataItem("Verdana"));

RadMenuContentItem contentItem = new RadMenuContentItem();

RadHostItem host = new RadHostItem(fontDropDownList);

contentItem.ContentElement = host;

contentItem.AutoSize = false;

contentItem.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(150, 100);

menuItem.Items.Add(contentItem);

contextMenu.Items.Add(menuItem);

}

private void radGridView1_ContextMenuOpening(object sender, ContextMenuOpeningEventArgs e)

{

e.ContextMenu = contextMenu.DropDown;

}

I hope this information helps. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.
