Error when all context menus are not visible

[Doron Yaacoby]

Hi,
I have a page with a tree-view and two context menus that are not visible by default. When I select an item in the tree, I get a javascript error: 'Telerik.Web.UI.RadContextMenu is null or not an object'. I've fixed it for now by adding a "dummy" context-menu with no items in it (but with the Visible property set to 'true'), but I would like to know if there is a better solution.

Thanks.

Hi Doron,

I guess you want not to show the RadContextMneu for some nodes of treeview. If so, better way to accomplish this is by canceling the event in OnClientContextMenuShowing method after checking the node that the context menu is being opened for.

ASPX:

<telerik:radtreeview id="RadTreeView1" runat="server" OnClientContextMenuShowing="ClientContextMenuShowing">
<ContextMenus>
<telerik:RadTreeViewContextMenu ID="ContextMenu">
    <Items>
        <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Copy" Value="Copy"></telerik:RadMenuItem>
        <telerik:RadMenuItem Text="Edit" Value="Edit"></telerik:RadMenuItem>
    </Items>
</telerik:RadTreeViewContextMenu>
</ContextMenus>

<Nodes>
<telerik:RadTreeNode runat="server" Text="Peripherals">
<Nodes>
    <telerik:RadTreeNode runat="server" Text="Printers"></telerik:RadTreeNode>
    <telerik:RadTreeNode runat="server" Text="Scanners"></telerik:RadTreeNode>
</Nodes>
</telerik:RadTreeNode>
</Nodes>
</telerik:radtreeview>

JavaScript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function ClientContextMenuShowing(sender, eventArgs)
{
 var node = eventArgs.get_node();
 var menu = eventArgs.get_menu();
 if (node.get_text() == "Printers")
  {
      eventArgs.set_cancel(true);
  }
}
</script>

Note: eventArgs.set_cancel(true) will cancel the event and the contextmenu is not shown.

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi Doron,

in addition, instead of setting the Visible property to False of the context menus please use

RadTreeView1.ContextMenus.Clear();
