Context menu has no context in Opened event

[Daniel Billingsley]

I am using a RadContextMenu on a RadScheduler.

I have hooked to the Opened event in order to dynamically control the menu, but I need to do that based on the appointment that was the target of the right-click.  For example, I want to disable the "Edit Appointment" option if the user doesn't have permission to edit the particular appointment.

I can use the GetClickedElement property in the ItemClick event, but it doesn't work in the Opened event.

The following code seems to work in the Opened event.  From the AppointmentSlot I can of course get to my appointment.  Is there any problem with this:

 

 

 

Border apptBorder = (sender as RadContextMenu).GetClickedElement<Border>();

 

 

 

AppointmentSlot apptSlot = apptBorder.DataContext as AppointmentSlot;

Hi Daniel Billingsley,

You should use AppoitnmentItem instead of Border because there are a lot of borders in the Scheduler template.

AppointmentItem appItem = (sender as RadContextMenu).GetClickedElement<AppointmentItem>();
if(appItem != null)
{
   AppointmentSlot slot = appItem.AppointmentSlot;
}

Let us know if you need more information.

As I said in my original post, that doesn't work for me in the Opened event.  Specifically, the call to GetClickedElement<AppointmentItem> does not find any appointment.  It works fine in the ItemClicked event, but not the Opened event.

That's why I came up with this workaround, which I understand is a little fragile, but it seems to consistently find the first border walking up the visual tree - which is the one around the textbox displaying the appointment subject on the calendar.

Hello Daniel Billingsley,

Could you send us sample project where we can observe this issue?
