How to override default context menu?

[Satyaprakash]

Hi,

I want to add a context menu when i click on the column header of the Windows form RadGridView control. I also want to add another context menu when i click on a row in the RadGridView.

How could i identify that Colum header is clicked or a row in the RadGridView  is clicked?

Hi Satyaprakash,

Thank you for writing.

You can easily do that by handling the ContextMenuOpening event of RadGridView as shown below:

void radGridView1_ContextMenuOpening(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.UI.ContextMenuOpeningEventArgs e)
  {
   if (e.ContextMenuProvider is GridHeaderCellElement)
   {
    e.ContextMenu = this.columnHeaderMenu;
   }
   else if (e.ContextMenuProvider is GridDataCellElement)
   {
    e.ContextMenu = this.rowMenu;
   }
  }

I hope this helps. If you have any further questions, please contact me.

Best wishes,

Hello Team,
We are upgrading the telerik controls to q2 2011 version. In the previous version the Radgridview right click contextmenu was working fine, but not now. What do I have to change in the above code to get the popup menu when I right click the selected row?
Let me know.

Thanks
