[Solved] Custom Context Menu when clicking outside of a cell?

[Lou]

Hi,

How do I get a custom context menu to be shown when clicking in a GridView outside of a cell? For example, if there are only a few rows and I click near the bottom of the control?

Hi Lou,

Thank you for contacting us. 

You can subscribe to the MouseDown event and show the custom context menu. Please refer to the following code snippet: 

void radGridView1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right)
    {
        if (this.radGridView1.FocusedElement is GridTableElement)
        {
            radContextMenu1.Show(this.radGridView1.PointToScreen(e.Location));
        }
    }
}

More information how to customize the default context menu of the RadGridView can be found in the article GridView >> Context Menus. 

I have also attached a sample project which demonstrates the implementation. 

Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.
