Edit the default context menu?

[Michael]

I like the context menu that comes default with the radrichtext box, however, I would like to drop a few of the options.  Can I do that just by editing the Context menu, or do I need to write my own context menu?  If I need to write my own, how can I include the spell check functionality in my context menu?

Thanks,
Michael

I have the same inquery.

I need to add extra custom elements to the contextMenu.  Like a new menuitem with sub elements.

if there a way to access this menu programatically ? thanks.

This constantly referenced post does not show how to hide any of the items like Hyperlink..., Paragraph, etc. that appear in the ContextMenu.  Here is how I achieved this.

private void ContextMenu_Showing(object sender, ContextMenuEventArgs e)
        {
            // Get
            var groups = e.ContextMenuGroupCollection;

            // Remove Spelling... menu item if it is present
            if (groups[0].Last().Command is Telerik.Windows.Documents.RichTextBoxCommands.ShowSpellCheckingDialogCommand)
            {
                // Hide Spelling...
                groups[0].Last().Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
            }

            // Clear everything from the menu except for the Spelling and Cut/Copy/Paste
            for (int i = 1; i < e.ContextMenuGroupCollection.Count; i++)
            {
                groups[i].Clear();
            }
        }

Hello Keith,

Thank you for sharing the approach you have adopted for customizing the context menu.
I personally find the approach with custom content menu builder neater, but both solutions produce the same effect in the end.
You can find some demos with custom context menus in this forum thread.

Kind regards,
