    Summary: How do I get the RadContextMenu to function in an RTL manner when generating it from code?

    I have seen many references on the forums regarding creating a RadMenu (RadContextMenu) by adding dir='rtl' to the <RadContextMenu> tab in your .aspx page.

    I assume that is how the control knows how to output the proper CSS classes, i.e:
    <div id="RadMenu1" class="RadMenu RadMenu_Vista RadMenu_rtl RadMenu_Vista_rtl" dir="rtl">
    My ContextMenu is being generated in code via something like:
    contextMenu = new RadContextMenu { EnableOverlay = true, ClickToOpen = true };

    I have tried using code like the following, but the '_rtl' CSS classes are not output:
    contextMenu.Attributes.Add("dir", "rtl");

    What is the proper way to do this?

    Thank you,
    Kevin

    Hi Kevin Kalitowski,

    You can set the RTL support via code-behind that way:

    RadContextMenu1.Attributes["dir"] = "rtl";

    where RadContextMenu1 is the ID of the RadContextMenu. Your way is not working as by doing this it seems you are trying to add a new Custom Attribute with name "dir" which is already done by default for the control.

    Hope this helps.

    I changed the code as you mentioned, but the result is the same.

    contextMenu = new RadContextMenu { ID = this.ID + "rm", EnableOverlay = true, ClickToOpen = true }; 
    contextMenu.Attributes["dir"] = "rtl";

    After the '= new RadContextMenu()' is run there is NOT a ["dir"] item in the Attributes collection as was mentioned in your reply.  Once I do the .Attributes["dir"] = "rtl", the attribute is added to the collection.  However, whether I use Atributes.Add() or Attributes["dir"], the end result is the same.  The HTML that is output does not have the RTL css classes attached.

     

    <div class="RadMenu RadMenu_Vista RadMenu_Context RadMenu_Vista_Context ">

    Do you have any other suggestions?  Remember, that my RadContextMenu is NOT declared on an .aspx page, but is added to a Controls collection with some code similar to 'Controls.Add(contextMenu);'.

    Thank you,
    Kevin

    Hi Kevin Kalitowski,

    Where did you try to attach the context menu?

    I tried to add a "dir" attribute to a RadTreeViewContextMenu and both ways are working:

    RadContextMenu1.Attributes["dir"] = "rtl";

    or

    contextMenu.Attributes.Add("dir", "rtl");

    Could you please send me the full code so I can inspect it and help you?



    Best wishes,

    Unfortunately that is much, much easier said than done.  I won't be able to send any code.

    Does it make any difference that I am using a RadContextMenu and not a RadTreeViewContextMenu as you mentioned, or that I am on the 2009.02.0701 release?

    Thank you,
    Kevin

    Hello Kevin Kalitowski,

    The RadTreeViewContextMenu is the context menu of the RadTreeView. RadContextMenu could be used by many other controls. That's why I am interested to what control you want to display a context menu. I am attaching my sample project for you to see the "RTL" support working on the RadTreeViewContextMenu. You can find it in the .zip file.

    I don't think that the version makes a difference for the RTL support. I've changed the Ticket Type to "Support" so you can attach your code.
