Context Menu for HierarchyChildTemplate GridView

[Greg]

I have a GridView with a HierarchyChildTemplate that has a Grid View. I need a context menu in that ChildTemplate GridView that sees things on the View Model. How do I get it to see the viewmodel for the proper binding?

Code:

<telerik:RadGridView Grid.Row="0"
                             x:Name="radGridView"
                             ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
                             AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                             SelectionMode="Extended"
                             SelectionUnit="FullRow"
                             ShowGroupPanel="False"
                             Margin="25,25,25,25"
                             ui:MultiSelectorBehaviours.SynchronizedSelectedItems="{Binding Path=SelectedItems}"
                             AllowDrop="True"
                             IsFilteringAllowed="True">
            <telerik:RadGridView.ChildTableDefinitions>
                <telerik:GridViewTableDefinition/>
            </telerik:RadGridView.ChildTableDefinitions>
            <telerik:RadGridView.HierarchyChildTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <telerik:RadGridView ItemsSource="{Binding ProjectionTasksLink}"
                                         AutoGenerateColumns="False"
                                         SelectionMode="Extended"
                                         SelectionUnit="FullRow"
                                         ShowGroupPanel="False"

        </telerik:RadGridView>

The context menu in the parent grid is fine, but the one in the nested grid is not right.

Side question. Is there a better way to do the nested grid thing than the HierachyTemplate? I would like for this to be one grid that does nesting. I tried using ChildTableDefinitions, but I can't specify things like columns and what not.

Thanks,
Greg

Hello,

Please keep in mind that the DataContext of the hierarchy is the bound data item, not the DataContext of the parent GridView. So you could specify a valid source (the ViewModel) using a StaticResource. Does this help?

I need the datacontext of the parent grid for the context menu of the child grid. I guess I am asking how I can do that.

Hello,

I have attached a sample project to show you what I mean. In the test project I have bound the Header for the MenuItem to the SelectedItem object in the ViewModel, so when the ContextMenu is shown the Name of the selected item will be displayed.

I hope you can apply this into your solution.

Kind regards,

Thanks Didie. I will take a look at it and let you know.

Cheers.

Hi
    I have RadContextMenu with hidden and non-hidden menu items  on RadTreeView . Add menu item to the tree .Open context menu ,It is showing  all the menu items which are marked as hidden.After debugging I found RadContextMenu  datacontext is becoming null.It is working fine when I'm explicitly setting datacontext .


Is this control issue?
