Item Clicking

[Aziz]

When i open the context menu i need to know where i clicked. i Know how to tell what item i clicked on but what if i clicked on white space where there is no item...

think of a file tree... when i right on click on a folder i want to make a new item in that folder but when i click outside of that folder i want to make one in the root... also you would have to then trap the items saying that files cant have child elements while folders can.

is there a way to tell a treeview that has drag and drop enabled that some items can have child elements but some cant?

also how do you tell if i right clicked the context menu just over the treeview not the treeviewitem?

Hello Jacob,

You can handle Opening event of RadContextMenu and get the underlying clicked element:

private void RadContextMenu_Opening(object sender, Telerik.Windows.RadRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            var contextMenu = sender as RadContextMenu;
            var clickedElement = contextMenu.GetClickedElement<FrameworkElement>();
        }

Once you get clickedElement, you can gets its parent using ParentOfType<T> extension method. Then depending on the parent, you can perform the logic you require.  

All the best,
