context menu for particular column in radgrid

[Mohan]

Hi,

           How to make context menu strip for particular column in rad gridview. Please give solution

Hi Mohan,

Thank you for writing.

In the ContextMenuOpening event of RadGridView, you can retrieve the cell the user right-clicked and from it you can get the column the context menu is opened for. In the same event you can customize the items available in the context menu. Here is an example:

private void radGridView1_ContextMenuOpening(object sender, ContextMenuOpeningEventArgs e)
{
  GridDataCellElement cell = e.ContextMenuProvider as GridDataCellElement;

  if (cell == null)
  {
    return;
  }

  if (cell.ColumnInfo.Name == "Some column name")
  {
    e.ContextMenu.Items.Add(new RadMenuItem("Column spedific action"));
  }
}

 I hope this will be useful. Should you have further questions, feel free to write back.

Hi Mohan,

Thank you for writing back.

I am afraid I do not fully understand your last reply. Can you please describe in bit greater detail what the current behavior is and what the behavior you want is? Some screen shots or sketches would be very helpful.

I am looking forward to your reply.
