doubled up right click menu

[Justin]

When I add a right click menu to my grid via the ContextMenuStrip property, it works fine. Except when I right click on the filter bar. Then I get both menus.

Anyone have a fix for this? Other than waiting for the next release?

Hello Justin,

Thank you for writing us.

Currently you can fix this issue by inheriting the RadGridView and overriding the OnMouseDown method. We will add API that enables context menu customization in our upcoming release Q1 2008.

Consider the code snippet below:

    public class MyGridView : RadGridView
    {
        public override string ThemeClassName
        {
            get
            {
                return typeof(RadGridView).FullName;
            }
            set
            {
            }
        }

        protected override void OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
            {
                RadElement element = this.GetElementAtPoint(e.Location);
                if (element is GridHeaderCellElement)
                {
                    return;
                }
            }
            base.OnMouseDown(e);
        }
    }

Let us know if you have other questions.

I've done this and it works most of the time, but occasionally when resizing a column I'll get a NullRef when I call base.OnMouseDown. I'm using Q3 2007 SP 1. Here's the stack trace:

	at Integra.EPC.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\EPC2\V1.0\EPC\EPC\Code Files\Program.cs:line 46

I even tried this:

  protected override void OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnMouseDown(e);
      }

And I still get the null reference exception. But I have to have this override in because the SP1 didn't address the double menu issue AFAIK.
