Rad Grid Hyperlink column - Right click context menu

[Penny]

I built a grid that has a hyperlink column and also a context menu associated to it. The hyperlink column was added to the grid in codebehind when the grid was built ( needed to built the grid in code behind to control what columns would show dynamically). The column was added fine but I had to manually create the hyperlink that would be placed on the grid so I can add attributes to it. I set the "onmouseover" attribute for example.

The problem is that I can open the context menu associated to the grid from anywhere on a row except on the hyperlink column Text. Anywhere around the text withing the column works fine too. Is there an attribute that I have to set? Or is there a certain way I have to build the hyperlink column? Or is the context menu even able to load from a right click on a hyperlink?

Any advise or assitance would be very appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Penny,

Unfortunately I was unable to reproduce the described behavior on my local machine. I have attached a simple test project which re-creates your scenario. Can you please take a look, maybe I'm missing something obvious?

Thanks for the reply. I took a look at the sample code you sent and I noticed a difference. I build the grid and hyperlink column in code behind while you build it in the designer. I do not know if this would make a difference or not.

Here is some of the code I used to build the hyperlink column in code behind:

 Dim oHyperLinkColumn As New Telerik.Web.UI.GridHyperLinkColumn
          uxradgrid.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(oHyperLinkColumn)
          With oHyperLinkColumn
                .HeaderText = " Number "
                .SortExpression = "ServiceOrderNo"
                .DataTextField = "ServiceOrderNoHL"
                .UniqueName = "ServiceOrderNoHL"
                .ItemStyle.ForeColor = Color.Blue
                .ItemStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Center
                 .Visible = True
            End With

In the itemdatabound event I added the text to the column.

  '' Set the hyperlink in the column
  Dim hLink As HyperLink = CType(dataBoundItem.Item("SOrNohl").Controls(0), HyperLink)
                    Dim Datakey As String = dataBoundItem.OwnerTableView.DataKeyValues(0)("SOID").ToString()
                    With hLink
                        If m_IsServiceOrders Then
                            .Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:NewWindow('Dispatch.aspx?ObjectID=" + dataBoundItem.Item("SOID").Text + "&daydate=" + hlinkStartDate + "&NewRad=true',800,500,'true'); return false;")
                        ElseIf m_IsCalls Then
                            .Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:NewWindow('CPage.aspx?CID=" + dataBoundItem.Item("CID").Text + "&daydate=" + hlinkStartDate + "&SOID=" + dataBoundItem.Item("SOID").Text + "',800,500,'true'); return false;")
                        Else
                            .Attributes.Add("onclick", "javascript:NewWindow('APage.aspx?AID=" + dataBoundItem.Item("AID").Text + "&CID=" + dataBoundItem.Item("CID").Text + "&daydate=" + hlinkStartDate + "',800,500,'true'); return false;")
                        End If
                        .Attributes.Add("onmouseover", "this.style.cursor='hand'")
                        .NavigateUrl = ""
                        .ForeColor = Color.Blue
                        .Font.Bold = True
                        .Font.Underline = True
                        .Visible = True
                        .Text = dataBoundItem.Item("SONo").Text
                    End With


For the Text of the column, I gave it the text of another column's data.

Or is there a way to bind the hyper link column to a specific column from the datasource so that the data from the column is displayed as a hyperlink?

Thanks again.

Hi Penny ,

I'm afraid that I'm still unable to reproduce this behavior locally. Can you please check that you are using the latest version of RadGrid control?
