    Hello,

    I'm using the rad context menu as a popup menu, fired up with left mouse click.
    problem is that when the menu slides down and opens, it immediatly closes. i noticed that if i keep the mouse button down, the context menu stays open, but i can't really do nothing that way.
    unfortunatlly i can't add an example here.
    basically, i have a table. each row has an onmousedown event, which fires up the context menu with the help of the contextmenu.show(event) method.

    How can i fix this?

    Hi Roy,

    You can try canceling the DOM event bubbling:

    event.cancelBubble = true;
    if (event.stopPropagation)
     event.stopPropagation();

    thanks for the help, but i actually fixed it myself.
    i changed the event i used to onclick, and thus the the menu stayed opened.
    probeblly something with the event lifecycle or whatever ;p

    Hello Roy.

    I'm having the same problem as you had. I applied the Telerik code but it does not work.

    What did you change in the event management to make your menu stay open ?

    Thanks for your help
    Best regards

    Hello.

    I have found out why the context menu did not keep open. It was because the page is nested in a master page and you must put the full control name in the ContextMenuElementId property. The context control is "FpSpreadDashboard" but in a master page the "_ctl0_ContentPlaceHolder_" prefix  is insert before the control id ("ContentPlaceHolder" is the ContentPlaceHolderID property of my nested page) : <asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder" runat="Server">

    So it must be: 

    <

    rad:RadMenu ID="RadContextMenu" 
        ... 
        ContextMenuElementID="_ctl0_ContentPlaceHolder_FpSpreadDashboard"
        ...
    </rad:RadMenu>
    Let me know if there is another way of dealing with RadMenu within a master page.
    Thanks

    Best regards
    Augusto
