Disable context menu when editing cell

[Yariv]

Hi,

I've created a grid with one editable column.
Can you please advise how I can totally disable context menu that becomes accessable when editing, or disable some specific menu points (e.g. "Insert Unicode control character", "Right to left Reading order" etc.)?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Yariv,

Thank you for writing.

Most of our editors internally host the standard TextBox control, thus the context menu that you are seeing is the standard TextBox context menu. To remove it, you need to access this text box and set its ContextMenu property to a new instance of ContextMenu. To access the TextBox, you need to access the editor for the edited cell. Assuming that you have GridViewTextBoxColumn, the cells in this column use RadTextBoxEditor. To access the editor you need to subscribe to the CellEditorInitialized event. Here is a sample:

void radGridView1_CellEditorInitialized(object sender, GridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    RadTextBoxEditor editor = e.ActiveEditor as RadTextBoxEditor;

    if (editor != null)
    {
        ((RadTextBoxEditorElement)editor.EditorElement).TextBoxItem.HostedControl.ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();
    }
}

I hope that you find this information useful.

It works for string type, but if column fill with int elements
it doesn't help.
What type instead RadTextBoxEditor I need use for INT?

Oh! I find it: GridSpinEditor)

Hello Alexander,

Indeed, GridSpinEditor is the editor that you need when working with numbers. I am glad that you managed to find the answer and your case is resolved.
