Hide RadPane Context Menu - Q1 '10

[Chris]

Hi

I have just upgraded an application I am working on to Q1 '10. Love the improved theming btw

I have a RadPane which contains a RadTreeView with a HierarchicalDataTemplate. The HierarchicalDataTemplate includes a ContextMenu which was working beautifully with the Q4 '09 controls.

However, now that I have upgraded to Q1 '10 I notice that the Pane Floating/Dockable Menu - which used to only be available off the Header - is now available as a Context Menu everywhere within the Pane.

How can I disable this - either totally, or when the mouse cursor is over a RadTreeViewItem?

Many thanks in advance

Hi,
The same problem here. None of the context menu's show up inside a pane. This is also true for the build-in context menu's, like that of the textbox.

Hi again

Is there any solution to this? It is currently an absolute show stopper and may force a return to the Q4 '09 release. I don't want to do that as I like all the other changes I have come across so far and the Panes are behaving far more predictably.

You can add a data template like this to the RadPane:

                    <tk:RadPane.ContextMenuTemplate>
                        <DataTemplate>
                            <tk:RadContextMenu Visibility="Collapsed" />
                        </DataTemplate>
                    </tk:RadPane.ContextMenuTemplate>

Hi Bijan

Thanks for the response.

Unfortunately I tried the DataTemplate option and, while it does get rid of the context menu, it also gets rid of the Drop Down Menu on the Header bar - still need that!

Also, context menus defined on controls within the RadPane still do not work.

Any other thoughts?

Hi all,

This issue is fixed.
To manipulate the ContextMenu of the RadPanes there are 2 scenarios:
1. Having a ContextMenu only on the button in the header of the Pane;
2. Not having a ContextMenu at all.
Attached is a sample project which illustrates both scenarios.
Hope this will help you.

If you have any other questions please feel free to contact us again.

Hello Konstantina!

I don't know if it's just me but when I run your example I still can see the arrow button from the context menu, although it's true that the context menu is not showing anymore. What can I do to have it removed also?

Thank you!

Hi,

You need to remove the context menu from the RadPane by setting the ContextMenuTemplate="{x:Null}".
After that you can attach a RadContextMenu in a TextBlock in the TitleTemplate of the RadPane, for example:

<telerik:RadPane.TitleTemplate>
                                    <DataTemplate>
                                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding}">
                                            <telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>
                                                <telerik:RadContextMenu>
                                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="My Menu Item" />
                                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="My Menu Item" />
                                                    <telerik:RadMenuItem Header="My Menu Item" />
                                                </telerik:RadContextMenu>
                                            </telerik:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>
                                        </TextBlock>
                                    </DataTemplate>
                                </telerik:RadPane.TitleTemplate>

In that way the context menu will show where you click on the header.
