[Solved] IsContext and ContextMenuElementID

[MB]

Moving an application from Classic Menu to Prometheus Menu, and I have a context menu that is created programatically.

I can't find the equivilent of Menu.IsContext and Menu.ContextMenuElementID even though these members are settable via declaritive creation ??

Hello,

Those properties have been removed in favor of new control - RadContextMenu. It has a targets collection where you specify which elements should that context menu apply to. In a word here is the equivalent of the ContextMenuElementID property:

<telerik:RadContextMenu runat="server">
    <Targets>
        <telerik:ContextMenuElementTarget ElementID="someElementID" />
    </Targets>
</telerik:RadContextMenu>
You can check out our context menu online examples:

Unfortunately our context menu documentation is still outdated. We will do our best to update it for the service pack.

How do you access this from code? There doesn't seem to be a .Targets collection nor .ContextMenuControlTarget property for RadContextMenu. We're migrating to Prometheus and when adding a context menu to a grid through code we used to just have to do:

ctlGloContextMenu.ContextMenuElementID = ctlGloGrid.ClientID

How do we do this now? We don't use code directly in our ASPX pages, only through a compiled DLL.

Actually, I figured it out. We were using a RadMenu as the context menu. Changing the inherited type to RadContextMenu did the job.
