Controls in Context Menu

[Sasmita]

Hi ,
Is there a way where i can have controls on Context Menu. .

I have my requirement like, when user right clicks, the Context menu that Pops up should have a check box followed by some text . I can have  just text by the below code . But can i have controls on a context menu.

RadDropDownMenu menu = new RadDropDownMenu();
RadMenuItem item = new RadMenuItem("Context Menu");
menu.Items.Add(item);

Any kind of help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Sasmita

Hello Sasmita,

Thank you for writing.

You can easily add custom check box items to RadMenu using the following code:

            RadMenuContentItem contentItem = new RadMenuContentItem();
            RadCheckBoxElement checkBox = new RadCheckBoxElement();
            checkBox.Text = "Some text";
            contentItem.MinSize = new Size(100,16);
            contentItem.ContentElement = checkBox;
            contextMenu.Items.Insert(0,contentItem);

Please, take look at Telerik Quick-Start FraweWork (QSF) Section RadMenuStrip -> Menu Item with custom elements. There are many examples with custom menu elements.

I hope this helps.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.
