MultiColumnComboBox with ContextMenu

[Dominik]

Hi, 

I have to add a ContextMenu to my MultiColumnComboBox. I already added a Winforms ContextMenuStrip and also set the ContextMenu Property. 

Now when I click on my dropDownButton of the ComboBox the right ContextMenu is shown but if I click in the middle of the textboxelement of the Combobox I get another one I do not want. Setting the ContextMenu of the textboxelement doesnt change that behaviour. 

THIS-OBJECT:MultiColumnComboBoxElement:TextBoxElement:TextBoxItem:HostedControl:ContextMenuStrip = THIS-OBJECT:contextMenuStripMain

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this ?

 

Sincerely,

Dominik

Hello Dominik,

Thank you for writing.

Your description suggests that you are referring to the default context menu of the editor element. Please bear in mind that the editor element is hosting the standard MS TextBox which has its separate menu. You can access it this way: 

this.radMultiColumnComboBox1.MultiColumnComboBoxElement.TextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.HostedControl.ContextMenu = new ContextMenu();

The following thread also discusses a similar matter: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6590315/how-to-disable-some-items-of-textbox-in-c.

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.
