    I have a RadTreeViewContextMenu on a RadTree that contains an Item Template with a textbox. button, and customvalidator.  On Postback, I need to display the RadTreeViewContextMenu if validation fails.  I'm at a loss on how to do this.  Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,
    Gene.

    Hi Gene,

    Here is how you can do this: if the validation fails register a javascript by using RegisterStartupScript method of the ScriptManager class. That javascript will do the following: finds the context menu and shows it using the showAt client-side method of the menu.

    Here is a sample C# code:

    StringBuilder script = new StringBuilder(); 
    script.Append("Sys.Application.add_load(function(){"); 
    script.Append("var menu = $find('" + RadTreeView1.ContextMenus[0].ClientID + "');"); 
    script.Append("menu.showAt(100, 100);"); 
    script.Append("});"); 
     
    ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "openContext", script.ToString(), true); 

    I hope this will get you started.

    Thanks for your reply Veselin!

    Works great! Next question: How do I dynamically get the position of the contextmenu?

    Thanks again,
    Gene.

    Hi Gene,

    Supposing you want to show the context menu over the selected node here is the amended code:

    StringBuilder script = new StringBuilder();  
    script.Append("Sys.Application.add_load(function(){");  
    script.Append("var menu = $find('" + RadTreeView1.ContextMenus[0].ClientID + "');");  
    script.Append("var tree = $find('" + RadTreeView1.ClientID + "');"); 
    script.Append("var node = tree.get_selectedNode(); if (node) {"); 
    script.Append("var nodeLocation = $telerik.getLocation(node.get_textElement());"); 
    script.Append("menu.showAt(nodeLocation.x + 20, nodeLocation.y + 10);}");  
    script.Append("});");  
      
    ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "openContext", script.ToString(), true);
