RadContextMenu - prevent auto close when clicking item

[Dzh]

Hi!

How to prevent auto close of RadContextMenu when user clicks on item on it? Now, after mouse click on any item, it closes. In WinForms there is ContextMenuStrip.AutoClose property to prevent autoclosing. Is there analogue of the property on Telerik RadContextMenu?

Thanks,

Hello Dzh,

Thank you for writing.

We do not have such а property, but you can very easily prevent the menu from closing by using the DropDownClosing event:

void menu_DropDownClosing(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
    e.Cancel = true;
}

I hope this will be useful. Should you have further questions, I would be glad to help.

Thank you! But could you tell me how to close RadContextMenu programmatically, when I click anywhere outside the menu?

Hi Dzh,

Thank you for writing back.

This can be done by just checking if the context menu contains the mouse and cancel the close only if it does:

void menu_DropDownClosing(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{

    if (menu.DropDown.Bounds.Contains(MousePosition))
    {
        e.Cancel = true;
    }
}

Please let me know if there is something else I can help you with.
