ContextMenu in ItemTemplate

[Ignazio]

I am working on some legacy code, I have RadTreeView with Item template which expand the hierarchy at doubleclick, I want to add a contextmenu which expand the hierarchy in the same way, problem is that there is no command to bind to expand nodes. How can I have the context menu work in the same way as the itemtemplate?

Hello Ignazio,

Thank you for the provided code snippet. 

My current understanding is that you want to provide a context menu for the RadTreeViewItems and expand them when the menuitem is clicked.

If that is indeed the case, you can utilize the RadContextMenu control and the IsChecked property of the RadMenuItem. I am attaching a sample project demonstrating what I have in mind for your reference.

I hope you find this helpful.
