Header Context Menu Click

[Robin]

Hello,

I really have to say that I enjoy your Header Context Menu for the Rad Grid. I am currently trying to customize it for my project, using HeaderContextMenu_ItemCreated to set "Group by" and "Ungroup" invisible, and OnPreRenderComplete to add my own Rad Menu Items to it.
However, I would like to know how to access the click event of the Rad Menu Items I have added myself. Do I have to add an event handler here?

Thanks in advance,
Robin

Hello Robin,

You could achive this using the following code snippet:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    RadGrid1.HeaderContextMenu.ItemClick += new RadMenuEventHandler(HeaderContextMenu_ItemClick);
}

protected void HeaderContextMenu_ItemClick(object sender, RadMenuEventArgs e)
{

}

For more information about customizing Header Context Menu please refer to this help article.

All the best,

Hi Kostadin,

I tried the following code based on your suggestion and the related help article:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        RadGrid1.HeaderContextMenu.ItemClick += new RadMenuEventHandler(HeaderContextMenu_ItemClick);
    }

protected void HeaderContextMenu_ItemClick(object sender, RadMenuEventArgs e)
    {
        switch (e.Item.Text)
        {
            case "Option1": [...]; break;
        }
    }

However, that doesn't seem to work the way I way hoping it would. When I start the project and select the "Option1" at my Header Context Menu, I get an error (System.NullReferenceException), telling me that the Object reference has not been set to an object instance.

Any further suggestions would be of great help.

Thanks in advance,
Robin
