Context Menu

[Alan]

Is there a right click/context menu available for the Rich text box?  If so where can I find the documentation?

Hi Alan,

RadRichTextBox has no default context menu attached. However, you can add one with a few lines of code by handling the MouseDown event. Here is a sample:

RadDropDownMenu menu = new RadDropDownMenu();
menu.Items.Add(new RadMenuItem("Item 1"));
menu.Items.Add(new RadMenuItem("Item 2"));
menu.Items.Add(new RadMenuItem("Item 3"));

this.radRichTextBox1.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(radRichTextBox1_MouseDown);

void radRichTextBox1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right)
    {
        menu.Show(Control.MousePosition);
    }
}
