RadContextMenu with Bar Chart

[Terry]

Hi:

I want to right-click a bar on a bar chart and have a context menu appear with items based upon the bar that is clicked.  I have the right-click working, but when I define the contextmenu inside the chart in the xaml, the chart disappears and the menu takes the entire space.  When I define the contextmenu in code, I cannot make it appear at all.  How should I do this?  The latter approach, creating the menu in code is preferred as the items will depend upon the bar that is right-clicked.

Hello Terry,

Can you, please, provide a sample code on how you use the context menu and the RadChart?

Hi

Even i wanted to know how we could attach the Context menu to the radchart. the problem that i am facing is what framework element to attach the context menu.

What worked for me was to define the ContextMenu inside the RadChart:

        <telerikCharting:RadChart x:Name="RadChart1" >
            <radNav:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>
              <radNav:RadContextMenu EventName="MouseLeftButtonUp" x:Name="Context_Menu" ItemClick="Context_Menu_ItemClick">
                <radNav:RadMenuItem Header="Top Level KPI" />
                <radNav:RadMenuItem Header="Details" />
              </radNav:RadContextMenu>
            </radNav:RadContextMenu.ContextMenu>
        </telerikCharting:RadChart>

You can clear and redefine the menu items from code if the context menu varies depending on what you click.

If you leave out EventName, right-click is supposed to trigger the context menu, but I think that only works with Telerik's SL4 beta.

Good luck!
