Insert RadTextBox in RadContextMenu

[Mujtaba Ali]

Hi

I wanted to add Text box as RadContextMenu item like we do with MS ContextMenuStrip. But I don't see any option for such.

Can you please help me about this?

Hi, Mujtaba Ali

Thank you for writing.

You can achieve this by hosting a RadTextBox control in a RadMenuHostItem, as shown below:

radContextMenu1.Items.Add(new RadMenuHostItem( new RadTextBox()));

Do not hesitate to contact us if you have other questions.

Hi

Thanks for the reply.

The provided code inserted the text box but the UI is not looking good because the textbox starts from the far left to the far right instead of keeping the icon margins. Would I have to set the margins for RadMenuHostItem?

Hello Mujitaba,

Thanks for the reply.
 
Yes you have to set the Margin property of the RadMenuHostItem, you can do it like this:

RadMenuHostItem MyContextMenuTextBox = new RadMenuHostItem(new RadTextBox());
MyContextMenuTextBox.Margin = new Padding(20, 0, 10, 0);

radContextMenu1.Items.Add(MyContextMenuTextBox);

I hope this helps.
