Context Menu with ListBox

[Naren]

Hi,
I am using ContextMenu.on ListBox.

My Xaml is as follows:




 <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <ListBox x:Name="whatfirstAttributeList" ScrollViewer.VerticalScrollBarVisibility="Auto" ScrollViewer.HorizontalScrollBarVisibility="Disabled" dragDrop:RadDragAndDropManager.AllowDrag="True" FontWeight="Normal" >
            <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <StackPanel Width="300" Background="{Binding Name, Converter={StaticResource myconverter}}">
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" x:Name="AttributeList" FontSize="12"/>
                    </StackPanel>
                </DataTemplate>
            </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
            <telerikNav:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>
                <telerikNav:RadContextMenu x:Name="ContextMenu" ItemClick="ContextMenu_ItemClick" Opened="ContextMenu_Opened">
                    <telerikNav:RadMenuItem Header="Add Attribute" />
                    <telerikNav:RadMenuItem Header="Delete Attribute"/>
                </telerikNav:RadContextMenu>
            </telerikNav:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>
        </ListBox>
    </Grid>



How can I get selected Item on ListBox in following cases?
1>
private void ContextMenu_Opened(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (this.whatfirstAttributeList.SelectedItem != null)
            {
this always returns Null.........
2>
private void ContextMenu_ItemClick(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            DataItem dataItem = this.selectedColumnItem.DataContext as DataItem;
This doesn't work....always give error....

Hello Naren,

 Your SelectedItem is null because to actually select it you have to left click it. You can get the right clicked item with GetClickedElement method of the RadContextMenu. Please examine the attached project and if you have any further questions feel free to ask.

Hi Zarko,
 I tried GetClickedElement method of the RadContextMenu It only works on UserControl and not on child control.

In my scenario I have ListBox and Context Menu on ChildWindow. And GetClickedElement method is not working on Child Window..

can you please help..

Hello Naren,

We are aware of such problem with RadContextMenu. In order to get the clicked element in a ChildWindow, I would suggest you to register the RadContextMenu with the ListBox in the ChildWindow. 

Attached you can find the sample. I hope this helps.
