Hello Samee,

You need to attach two client-side handlers as shown bellow:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadFileExplorer1.TreeView.OnClientContextMenuShown = "OnTreeContextMenuShown";
    RadFileExplorer1.GridContextMenu.OnClientShown = "OnGridClientShown";
}

Then implement the desired logic in the attached handler. For your convenience I have attached a fully working demo to this threads that shown the basic steps in order to achieve the desired result.

I hope this helps.

did anybody have any luck with this? I tried the example, and it didn't do anything for me. In addition, what a bunch of work to perform such a simple action. How about rename.visible = false;

I found the following elsewhere on the forum:

        private void ConfigureFileExplorer(RadFileExplorer fileExplorer, bool bIsReadOnly, string sFilePaths)
        {
            string[] aFilePath = sFilePaths.Split(',');
            fileExplorer.InitialPath = Page.ResolveUrl(aFilePath[0]);
            fileExplorer.Configuration.ViewPaths = aFilePath;
            fileExplorer.Configuration.UploadPaths = aFilePath;
            fileExplorer.Configuration.DeletePaths = aFilePath;

            if (!bIsReadOnly)
            {
                fileExplorer.EnableOpenFile = true;
                fileExplorer.DisplayUpFolderItem = false;
                fileExplorer.EnableCreateNewFolder = false;
                fileExplorer.AllowPaging = false;
                fileExplorer.VisibleControls = GetVisibleControls();

                RadToolBar toolBar = fileExplorer.ToolBar;
                int i = 0;

                while (i < toolBar.Items.Count)
                {
                    if (toolBar.Items[i].Value == "Rename")
                    {
                        toolBar.Items.RemoveAt(i);
                        continue;
                    }

                    i++;
                }

                RadContextMenu treeViewContextMenu = fileExplorer.TreeView.ContextMenus[0];
                i = 0;
                while (i < treeViewContextMenu.Items.Count)
                {
                    if (treeViewContextMenu.Items[i].Value == "Rename")
                    {
                        treeViewContextMenu.Items.RemoveAt(i);
                        continue;
                    }
                    i++;
                }

                RadContextMenu gridContextMenu = fileExplorer.GridContextMenu;
                i = 0;
                while (i < gridContextMenu.Items.Count)
                {
                    if (gridContextMenu.Items[i].Value == "Rename")
                    {
                        gridContextMenu.Items.RemoveAt(i);
                        continue;
                    }
                    i++;
                }
            }
            else
            {
                fileExplorer.TreeView.EnableDragAndDrop = false;
                fileExplorer.Grid.ClientSettings.AllowRowsDragDrop = false;

                fileExplorer.DisplayUpFolderItem = false;
                fileExplorer.EnableCreateNewFolder = false;
                fileExplorer.AllowPaging = false;

                RadToolBar toolBar = fileExplorer.ToolBar;
                int i = 0;

                while (i < toolBar.Items.Count)
                {
                    if (toolBar.Items[i].Value == "Delete" || toolBar.Items[i].Value == "Upload" || toolBar.Items[i].Value == "Rename")
                    {
                        toolBar.Items.RemoveAt(i);
                        continue;
                    }

                    i++;
                }

                RadContextMenu treeViewContextMenu = fileExplorer.TreeView.ContextMenus[0];
                i = 0;
                while (i < treeViewContextMenu.Items.Count)
                {
                    if (treeViewContextMenu.Items[i].Value == "Delete" || treeViewContextMenu.Items[i].Value == "Upload" || treeViewContextMenu.Items[i].Value == "Rename")
                    {
                        treeViewContextMenu.Items.RemoveAt(i);
                        continue;
                    }
                    i++;
                }

                RadContextMenu gridContextMenu = fileExplorer.GridContextMenu;
                i = 0;
                while (i < gridContextMenu.Items.Count)
                {
                    if (gridContextMenu.Items[i].Value == "Delete" || gridContextMenu.Items[i].Value == "Upload" || gridContextMenu.Items[i].Value == "Rename")

Hi Jim,

The approach you post here is described in this KB article. Please note that this code will completely disable the Rename command. The attached project to this thread, however, disables the rename option only for directories - it is enabled for files. The purpose of the attached example (to my first reply to this thread) is to show how to disable Rename command on the client. You can implement your logic that will determine whether the rename option is allowed in the current context and use the provided code in order to disable the Rename option in the shown context menu.

Hi Fiko,
I am trying to disable with solution you have given here but how to refer RadFileExplorer in our present code and where to do it.

Can you please add here more clear answer.

Hi Shailesh,

Please try the below sample code snippet to achieve your scenario.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadFileExplorer ID="rfileexplorerDisableRename" runat="server">
    <Configuration ViewPaths="~/RadAsyncUpload/Uploads/" UploadPaths="~/RadAsyncUpload/Uploads/"
        DeletePaths="~/RadAsyncUpload/Uploads/" EnableAsyncUpload="true" />
</telerik:RadFileExplorer>

C#:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //attaching event for the contextmenu
    rfileexplorerDisableRename.GridContextMenu.OnClientShown = "showContextmenu";
}

JavaScript:

function showContextmenu(sender, args) {
    var gridContextMenuItems = sender.get_allItems();
    var menuItem;
    for (var i = 0; i < gridContextMenuItems.length; i++) {
        menuItem = gridContextMenuItems[i];
        if (menuItem.get_value() == "Rename") {
            menuItem.disable(); // Disable the rename function
        }
    }
}

Thanks,
Princy.
