Open RadContextMenu through Code

[Richard Koslik]

Hello,

I have a question about the RadContextMenu. My problem is I am not able to open a RadContextMenu manually through the code.

* I created a ContextMenu + MenuItems in code behind
* I NOT called the function RadContextMenu.SetContextMenu
* I set IsOpen = true for opening the menu => Error:  Unhandled Error (Application_UnhadledException) Object reference not set to an instance of an object

What do I wrong, how can I open a ContextMenu through code behind????

Hi Richard,

You should set a target to the context menu in order to open it properly. This can be done by other using SetContextMenu method as explained here or setting its PlacementTarget property:

RadContextMenu contextMenu = new RadContextMenu();
contextMenu.Items.Add(new RadMenuItem() { Header = "test item" });
contextMenu.PlacementTarget = targetTextbox;
contextMenu.IsOpen = true;

Kind regards,
