I'm trying to create a dynamic context menu in my grid. Each row would have its own set of options that I want to load using the WebServices support of the RadContextMenu control. What I have noticed that I cannot seem to have the context menu load items unless I add at least one MenuItem and set the ExpandMode to "WebService". This causes the popup menu to have submenu rather than just load the RadMenuItems at the root. I expected that if I set the WebService settings of the RadContextMenu without having any RadMenuItems statically created, it would load the menu items at the root. This did not work as I expected.
Am I missing something? What is the recommended approach where I have a grid that contains rows. Each row may have its own distinct set of popup options that I wish to display.
Thanks, Randy

Hi Randy,
RadContextMenu cannot populate its root items from a webservice. There is a possible approache though, which is actually the best in terms of performance:
Have a single RadContextMenu, which will contain all the possible items. When showing the context menu, manipulate the visibility of the items.
Let me know if that helps.
