HeaderContextMenu mode

[Bilal]

Hi Telerik Team,

Is there a way to fire the HeaderContextMenu of a RadGrid based on button click instead of Header right click?
I want to place a button in the header of the grid, once clicked it should open the HeaderContextMenu.

Please do let me know how can I achieve such scenario.

Thanks,
Bilal

Hello,

To show HeaderContextMenu on button click you can try the following JS.
JS:

<script type="text/javascript">
function OnClientClick()
 {
   var RadGrid = $find("<%=RadGrid1.ClientID %>");
   RadGrid.get_headerMenu().show(window.event);
 }
</script>

Thanks,
Princy.

Hi Bilal,

You can certainly achieve your scenario but its not a trivial implementation. I have assembled a sample project demonstrating the desired functionality. Additionally, I recommend that you go through the showHeaderMenu section in the help article below:
