    Hello!

    I've successfully added a RadContextMenu to my RadListControl and now I want to get the clicked/selected Item in de ListControl.

    In fact the appearing RadContextMenu takes focus and prevents the RadListControl giving a SelectedItem, I can't get it.

    Does somebody know a property/way to get the RadListDataItem which was clicked to show the ContextMenu?

    Will be happy for any solution.
    Thanks and regards
    Juergen

    Hi Juergen Holzer,

    Thank you for writing.

    Right clicking an item should not and does not select items in RadListControl. This is the correct behavior and it is by design. I assume that you have associated RadContextMenu with RadListControl. Now in order to get the item that you have right clicked, please consider the following code snippet:
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
      
        radListControl1.MouseDown += new MouseEventHandler(radListControl1_MouseDown);
    }
      
    void radListControl1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
        {
            RadListVisualItem clickedItem = radListControl1.ElementTree.GetElementAtPoint(e.Location) as RadListVisualItem;
      
            if (clickedItem != null)
            {
                RadListDataItem dataItem = clickedItem.Data;
                // do sth here
            }
        }
      
    }

    I hope you find this information helpful. If there is anything else I can assist you with, do not hesitate to contact me.

    Best wishes,

    Thanks for the answer! This is what I was looking for, but couldn't find the GetElementAtPoint Method.

    Thanks for your help and thanks to Telerik team for your great work!

    Kind Regards
